Sean signs new deal!

We are delighted to announce that Sean Heaver has signed his first professional contract until the end of the season, having initially joined us on an amateur basis.

The 27-year-old forward was a youth player with Stirling Albion more than a decade ago and returned to Forthbank from Bannockburn Amateurs in the summer. Sean had to bide his time this season but has made a big impact in recent weeks and is our joint-top scorer with four goals.

Chairman Stuart Brown said: “On the back of establishing himself in the starting XI with a series of impressive performances, I am delighted to announce that Sean has accepted our offer of a professional contract and that the paperwork has been duly completed this evening. I am delighted to know that Sean is committed to SAFC for (at least!) the remainder of this season.”

Manager Kevin Rutkiewicz said: “This is a well-deserved reward for Sean, who has worked extremely hard to get, and take, the opportunity before him. He has shown a confidence and ability to both score and set up goals and has become a real fans’ favourite in a short time.”
