In addition under-21 forward Connor Hughes will join the senior squad for pre-season training.

Maxwell returned from his trip to the World Seniors Cup in Thailand to find a little more rebuilding than he had thought necessary was required.

In addition to the departure of defender Kevin Green and midfielders Chris Duff and Luke Whelan for Queen’s Park, keeper Jordan Brown has signed for Cumbernauld United.

Craig Buchanan, Sean McCall and Reece Pearson have also left, but Gary McMenamin, Scott Walker, Danny McKenzie, Danny Boyle, Michael McKinven, Jordan McGuire, Shaun Fraser, Andy Johnstone, Lee Gallacher, Gavin Mackie, William Sawyers and Kevin Watt have all been retained.

Maxwell said: “Stefan and Robert have done really well in their league and shown the hunger and desire to play at a higher level.

“I think they’ll bring a really good attitude and determination to prove themselves.

“Gary is a proven quality striker at this level. We tried to sign him last year.

“He’s a physical striker with a great eye for goal.”
