Barrett signs for Edinburgh City
Edinburgh City have added another player to their squad with the acquisition of left-sided midfielder Bradley Barrett.
The Bonnyrigg-born player spent five seasons with his local side and last season made 27 appearances for The Rose, scoring four goals and setting up two others.
Currently, the 24-year-old, who has also played for Tranent and the under-18 side at Berwick Rangers, is carrying an injury from last season but City are confident he will be fit in the next few weeks.

Ruben Amorim told to raid rivals for ‘headache' £26million striker and warned Gyokeres would ‘struggle' at Man Utd
The Red Devils have been urged to sign the 27-year-old instead of Gyokeres BET-TER OPTION Ruben Amorim told to raid rivals for 'headache' £26million striker and warned Gyokeres would 'struggle' at Man Utd Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) RUBEN AMORIM has been told the solution to his goalscoring gremlins is a man once written off as an Everton flop — by his own fans. Guinea-Bissau striker Beto took so long to adapt following his £26million move from Udinese that he was steadily becoming a Prem laughing stock. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Manchester United have been urged to sign Everton's Beto Credit: Getty 5 Viktor Gyokeres has been linked with United throughout the summer Credit: EPA Even when David Moyes' return to Goodison finally ignited his career, many Toffees supporters remained unconvinced. Yet for all the sneers and cynics, one man reckons Beto would actually be the perfect partner for £62.5m signing Matheus Cunha as Amorim plans a new-look strike force at Manchester United. The Old Trafford gaffer has so far failed in attempts for Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo, Viktor Gyokeres from his old club Sporting and Napoli's Victor Osimhen. But Amorim should forget about chasing Europe's most-wanted hitmen — because the answer is just 35 miles away, down the M62. READ MORE ON FOOTBALL MARC MY WORDS Man Utd outcast Rashford says he wants to join Barca in come-and-get-me plea Fernando Lopes is the president of Portuguese amateurs Uniao Tires — where Beto made his footballing breakthrough — and he saw first-hand the star's talent. Lopes insists the Lisbon-born forward should actually have been ahead of Gyokeres on Amorim's wish list from the off — as he has already proved himself in the Premier League. He explained: 'Everyone thought Amorim would sign Gyokeres as he had him at Sporting but the Premier League is completely different to Portugal. 'Teams are more physical and compact at the back, it is quicker and more competitive. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK 'Gyokeres would struggle to play as a lone No 9 waiting for service. 'Beto's a more physical player, who fights with defenders and doesn't lose duels. 'Agent Onana' luring £60m+ Bryan Mbeumo to Man Utd instead of Tottenham? | Transfers Exposed 'He is a real headache for opponents — if he gets the service. 'In their golden era, United always scored a lot of goals from set-pieces but haven't had a proper striker for many seasons. 'Nowadays, teams have small, quick strikers or a false forward because there is an obsession for possession of the ball. 5 5 'Beto represents the typical old style, because of his physique, power and work-rate — plus he is very fast. 'When Moyes went to Everton he showed what a handful he is for defenders to stop. 'He'd be like Amorim's ace up his sleeve in a game of poker.' 5 After taking 35 games to hit four Prem goals under Sean Dyche — the man who signed him — he matched that tally in just five when Moyes returned. And Lopes reckons the grit he showed to silence the Goodison cynics would soon win over the doubters if he joined United. He said: 'One of Beto's attributes is the fighting spirit first injected at Tires. He has had the attitude of never giving up since he was a boy. 'I'd love to see him in a more attacking team because if he has the service, he will definitely score around 20. 'His physicality would be a tremendous advantage for United and he's so quick that you have to foul him to stop him. 'I know some will say my head is ruling my heart but for me he is the most effective choice for United — and I know the fans would love him.'

Former Championship manager, 44, now working at Bristol Airport as picture of him in uniform goes viral
Gaffer has done a whole host of interesting and different jobs over the years TAKE A SECOND LUKE Former Championship manager, 44, now working at Bristol Airport as picture of him in uniform goes viral Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A FORMER Championship manager has swapped wingers for wings - by taking a job at Bristol Airport. And fans could barely believe their eyes as he opted for a high-viz instead of a high line. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Luke Williams was dismissed as Swansea manager in February Credit: Getty 2 He has taken on a new job helping those with mobility difficulties at Bristol Airport Credit: Ex-Swindon and Notts County chief Luke Williams was Swansea boss from January 2024 until his sacking in February 2025. The London-born gaffer, 44, was placed on gardening leave. But despite no doubt receiving a pay-off from the Welsh club when axed four months ago, he was keen to do something worthwhile during his time out of the game. So much so that as he awaits a new stint in a dugout, kind-hearted Williams has undertaken a gig helping disabled and limited-mobility passengers around the Bristol Airport terminal, as reported by The Athletic. READ MORE ON FOOTBALL MARC MY WORDS Man Utd outcast Rashford says he wants to join Barca in come-and-get-me plea He started the job two weeks ago. And it did not take long for a photo of him at his new workplace to go viral. The snap showed humble Williams wearing his yellow reflective vest uniform and lanyard coming out of the lift in Bristol. An X user wrote: "Luke Williams gone from managing the Swans to working in Bristol Airport, someone check VAR." CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS One replied: "He's just doing this because he's bored, he genuinely doesn't care about others' opinions and you have to respect it." Another commented: "Fair play to the guy." Former Premier League manager is told 'f--- you' by his own player before he shushes him in furious Club World Cup row A third joked: "Managing in the top flight." A fourth added: "Cardiff City fan here with nothing but respect for this. Call me woke if you want. (*best believe I'll turn up in full bluebirds kit when I fly out next week)" And a final person typed: "Clearly has a massive work ethic. Good luck to him!" Williams told The Guardian in 2024 that he places a strong emphasis on commitment and dedication, declaring: "In my opinion, motivation in life is everything." He also revealed how he loaded lorries for BHS and drove minibuses to and from nightclubs and airports to fund his early coaching career. In those days, he collected £1.50 for every player who attended his sessions. Williams also applied for an electrician course when he left his coaching role with Swansea under Russell Martin in 2022.
