The club is delighted to announce that Ross Taylor has penned a new two-year deal, keeping him at the club until 2027.

Ross first joined the Warriors from Auchinleck Football Club in 2023 and went on to become a vital part of the Warriors historic title winning season. In that season he scored two goals and was the maestro for creating three other goals for his teammates.

Along with his goal scoring and creating ability, Ross is known for his rapid turn of pace which, in both seasons at Ochilview, has caused defenders a host of problems.

Despite an injury blow at the start of this season, Ross came back stronger than ever and has already beaten his goal scoring record with five goals and four assists. With an amazing campaign coming to a close, Ross felt it was only right to extend his stay : “I’m delighted to be signing a new 2-year contract extension with the club.

“Since joining in the Summer of 2023, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Stenhousemuir and hope to keep kicking on as a player and bring more success to the football club.” 

“Last year was a special year for the club and one that I was glad to be a part of.  Everyone at the club from the fans to the Gaffer, Brown and all the rest of the coaching staff have been great with me and also it’s a brilliant group of players to work with and learn from.

“We are all striving to do the best we can going into the remainder of the season and hope to produce a good end to what has been a great season so far.”

Manager Gary Naysmith shared his delight in keeping the winger at Ochilview for the next two seasons and having the opportunity to watch him develop further:

“In my opinion Ross is one of the most exciting young attacking talents at part-time level in Scotland, so I am delighted that he has committed himself to the club for another 2 years.

“Ross is quick and direct and there is no doubt in my mind that the level he shows when he has the ball is good enough to play at a full-time level. What we need to keep working on with Ross is the other side of the game and this is something which Ross accepts and is working hard to improve.

“Since he arrived at the club, he has become a bit of a fans’ favourite, and it is a great piece of business from everyone at the club that was involved in making the deal happen”

Martin Christie head of football operations detailed his pleasure in getting this deal over the line:

“I am delighted to be able to announce that Ross has signed an extension for 2 seasons, until 2027.  Since we initially spotted Ross playing at Auchinleck Talbot, we have felt he has a huge amount of potential to go far in the game. 

“Ross’ attacking ability offers us an excitement and drive that is difficult to find, and we are extremely pleased that Ross feels that Stenhousemuir is the best place for him to continue developing over the next 2 years”

Warriors, please join us on congratulating Ross in gaining a contract extension!
