Brechin City release Elliot Ford - By Grant Hood

Brechin City can confirm that midfielder / defender Elliot Ford has been released by The Club.

The 21-year-old has been on loan at Kelty Hearts since September and, with Elliot finding himself on the fringes of first team selection in The Championship, it has been agreed that releasing him from his contract is the best course of action for everyone concerned.

Since joining The Club in time for the start of 2016/17 season, Elliot made 15 starts for and 13 appearances from the bench and can feel he more than played his part in Brechin City’s promotion winning season. He scored one goal for the Club and, crucially, it was the only goal in the Play Off Final 1st Leg broadcast live by BBC Alba, which gave City the edge going into the memorable clincher at Alloa a few days later in which he appeared too. Let's not forget his post match TV interview with Finn Graham after the first leg either.

Manager Darren Dods said, “Elliot is a good guy with a great attitude and amongst the fittest we’ve had at The Club and he did really well in the Play-Offs. Having lost his place since moving up a division, he wanted regular games and moving on helped him do that. We wish him well. He’s young and could still go on to do well in the game.”
