As a player David had spells at Ipswich Town, Motherwell, Cowdenbeath, Brechin & East Fife before joining the Rose in the summer of 2013. He spent 18 months with Bonnyrigg before joining Penicuik Athletic as a player/coach. David was involved in the Hearts Academy following his spell at the Cuikie before returning to the Rose dugout last season in a coaching capacity and has therefore worked with the majority of the squad we have previously. He initially took the role on an interim basis with his first match being last Saturday’s victory in the East of Scotland Cup at Dundee North End.

We would like to thank the numerous applicants we have had for the role and look forward to helping & supporting David in any way we can. Ex captain Ross Archibald has agreed to come back and help out with coaching duties on an interim basis and he will also be assisted by Jonny Stewart as he continues his rehabilitation from injury while David looks to build his backroom team.
