As part of the off field restructuring the Club wish to announce John Matthew moves into the position of Honorary Chairperson, Brian Johnston becomes Chairperson and Ryan Rodger comes in as Secretary/Treasurer.

Brian Johnston said of his appointment:

Since we managed to secure our Premier League status and as part of our long-term plan, we needed to restructure our operating side and I am delighted to become Chairperson of the Club.

 

John has been an ever present since the Club joined the Juniors and has put so much into the whole club. He lives and breathes Newmachar United so it’s great he’s still part of the Junior Executive Committee. I am delighted Ryan of North East Windows & Doors Ltd has agreed to join as Secretary/Treasurer as he’s been a main sponsor for the team over the past 4 years but will now bring a wealth of experience and knowledge with his previously being Club secretary and hospitality at Keith FC.

 

We also have a strong committed general committee, all have been given responsibilities which provide a more structured approach to all facets of the day to day running of the Club. We have progressed well on the field over the past 4 seasons with our management team who have built up a decent squad and they’ve a similar shared vision and have the full support of the committee so this helps us provide stability to become an established Premier League club.

 

We have some exciting projects planned and I am confident we have the right people in the right places to make us a success on and off the field.

Tait Duthie has this week extended his contract at Utd for the next 3 years!

Here’s what he had to say…

I’m really happy to be staying here at Newmachar. With a brilliant management team, committee and a cracking bunch of lads I’m just looking forward to the rest of the season and seasons to come.

The manager was equally excited about the deal…

Tait has come on well as a player. He’s maturing and starting to become an important player for the team. He’s aggressive, fast and can score goals too. If he keeps improving, he’s got a bright future in the game.

Conor Watt has this week extended his contract at Utd for the next 3 years!

Conor wears squad #8, plays as an attacking midfielder and is sponsored by MacScott Bond LTD

Here’s what he had to say…

Delighted to have signed an extension with Newmachar. The club is moving forward in the right direction and I’d like to play a big part in keeping this club in the premier league.

The manager was equally excited about the deal…

Delighted Conor has chosen to stay with us and play his part in moving the club forward. He’s a lad i’ve known for a good few years now, with Keith 20s, then i took him to Banchory and onto Newmachar with us. He’s a great player to have in your team and equally to have in your dressing room. Clever player, very good on the ball and his work rate is through the roof every time he takes the field.

It’s been a tough 18 months for the now club skipper.

A shoulder injury at home to Cruden Bay ruled him out for months of last season and then a leg break in the first pre season friendly against Forfar West End saw the skipper face another lengthy battle to get back on the pitch.

But he’s made it and with 30 mins remaining he played a vital part in our visit to Islavale, winning 4-3 with a stoppage time winner from Caly Reid.

Here’s what he had to say…

It’s been a long, slow road to recovery and I’m delighted to have made it back into the team this season. That was the goal from the days/weeks after I broke my leg, with the gaffer saying he was going to plan for a season without me. It gave me something to focus on regaining strength to get back as early and as fit as I could. I’m happy to have achieved it, even better that we managed to grind out the win in the way that we did. Now we’re into the business end of the season I’m hoping to play as big a role as I can. That character shown will be hugely important for us in the next few months as we really try to push for promotion.

It feels good to sign for a great club like Newmachar! The motivation and ambition on show from the club is fantastic to see and I am really excited to be a part of it.

Jimmer is a great bloke & joy to work with. He trained with us at Banchory with a view to signing this season so we’re delighted he chosen to join us here. I’m looking forward to working with him over the next few years and seeing his development. He’s looked sharp in the games so far and chipped in with a few goals too. He’ll learn a lot from Hardie and also Danny, who’s just retired and joined the coaching team, so Newmachar is a great place for him to start his junior career.

As soon as I had left Banchory and knew Newmachar were interested, I wanted to be part of Ewan and his coaching staffs plans for Newmachar, I already knew 1 or 2 of the players so knew the club were going in the right direction with a strong committee backing including Brian who I had worked with previously at Parkvale. I would also like to thank the Banchory St Ternan committee for the last two seasons and for allowing me to make the move

Stevo was at the heart of the success we had at Banchory. I think he maybe missed 2 games or so over the whole time he was there so for us it’s a massive signing and he’s the kind of player we need to be signing to take the club forward. His experience is invaluable and he’s good with the younger lads in the squad too which will only help them moving forward.
