Montrose pair join on loan

*Montrose pair join on loan*

Berwick Rangers are delighted to confirm the capture of talented League 1 duo Craig Smith and Ali Shrive, who sign on loan from Montrose until the end of the season.

Both Smith, 23, and Shrive, 24, have featured in the Montrose first team this season. Centre-back Smith has 15 appearances and 1 goal for the Gable Endies this year, while central midfielder Shrive has featured a total of 69 times in 2 seasons, scoring 5 goals. Both players were also signed by Montrose boss Stewart Petrie from the same side – Heriot-Watt University, and have carried on Montrose’s strong record of developing players from Scottish universities.

We are very pleased to welcome Ali and Craig to the club, and both players are set to feature within the next week, subject to Scottish FA clearance – although tomorrow’s game against Celtic B may come too soon for them. We also wish to thank Montrose for their support in allowing this loan deal to be completed.
