Hamilton Accies goalkeeper exits after frustrating spell
Charlie Albinson joins Reghan Tumilty, Sean McGinty and Nikolay Todorov out the door at Accies Hamilton Accies have parted company with goalkeeper Charlie Albinson as boss John Rankin gets set to begin preparations for their League One campaign. The Accies boss will return from holiday tomorrow and it is expected the club will be able to finalise their list of retained and released players in the coming days. Lanarkshire Live Sport understands Albinson, 28, had a relegation release clause in his contract and is already working on a move to a new club. He joins a list of players to be released in the last few weeks, including SPFL Trust Trophy final hero Reghan Tumilty. Defender Sean McGinty has left to join local rivals Airdrieonians and striker Nikolay Todorov has also departed. Englishman Albinson joined Accies from Ayr United last summer and made 21 appearances. He fell out of favour at New Douglas Park and his last outing for the club came back on January 28 in a 3-0 home defeat to Raith Rovers. Where Hamilton Accies are playing league games next season is yet to be confirmed with the SPFL still to ratify the club's tenancy agreement with North Lanarkshire Council to play at Broadwood Stadium on a temporary basis. Accies announced in May they were leaving New Douglas Park after failing to secure a deal to buy the stadium from its current owners. Accies will play their 'home' games in the Premier Sports Cup next month at K-Park in East Kilbride after a deal was struck to host matches there while a new pitch is laid at Broadwood over the next few weeks. Rankin's men are due to travel to Lowland League side Caledonian Braves on June 20 for their first pre-season friendly, the same day the SPFL fixtures will be released. The clash is one of four pre-season friendlies planned although a full list hasn't yet been released by the club. Bellshill Athletic have announced they will play an Accies XI on Wednesday, July 9.

Ex-Hamilton Accies star looks to next chapter after relegation causes exit
Reghan Tumilty is on the lookout for a new club after two-and-a-half seasons at Accies Reghan Tumilty admits it was difficult to leave Hamilton Accies, but he's got to do what's best for him and his family. The defender announced his departure after two-and-a-half seasons on social media, and Tumilty's looking for his next chapter after a holiday in Portugal. Hamilton would have ended last season seventh in the Championship but for a 15-point deduction for off-field offences, and Tumilty has made the decision to move on. But he thanked boss John Rankin for rescuing him from a miserable spell at Hartlepool United in 2023 Tumilty said: 'It was bad the way it ended, really, sad, really. Us as players, we felt like we did the best we could, that was all we could really do. 'It was about being professional and finishing it, and whatever happens happens. 'It was frustrating to be relegated, but we did our jobs. We had to be professional about it and do our side. 'We were hopeful that we would get some points back [in an appeal], but we got zero and there was no hope in the end. 'We had to be professional and I think we proved that in the last game against Falkirk. 'I know we got beat in the end, but we put on a good show, considering the amount that was going on in the background, and we were trying to play at the same time. 'I'm proud of my team-mates, to be fair.' Tumilty added: 'It's not ideal but it's good for me now to move on and start somewhere else. 'There have been ups and downs, and I have enjoyed it. 'I do thank them a lot for bringing me in, the manager bringing me in, because it was at a point where I was hating football, so it made me like it again. 'Winning the SPFL Trust Trophy was a good moment, there have been a few 1-0, Tumilty games in the last couple of seasons, and those are my favourite ones.' Tumilty doesn't have a club lined up, but hopes he can find a new one ahead of next season. He said: 'I don't know what comes next, I'm just enjoying my holiday, I'm heading to Portugal. 'It has been good to switch off and enjoy my holidays, because you don't get it very often. 'You get this month a year, but your friends and family are at work, so you're just kind of hanging about. 'It will be good to get away and not really think about it. 'Hopefully I won't be short of offers. 'I've played a lot of games, so it's getting to that stage where hopefully something comes and it's the right fit, because I have things to pay for these days, I have bills to pay for.'
