The Young Reds are delighted to announce that youngster Alex Cleland has been signed by SAFC Youth Development Initiative Under 13's. Alex becomes the first graduate to Youth Development Level from the Young Reds Scheme and, ikn particular, the FVFDA Development squads.
To have produced our first Youth Development player after only one season participating in the FVFDA structure is a real achievement by Alex and his former coaches Willie Maxwell and Norman McLay.
When we started our FVFDA teams last season we stated that one of our ambitions was to offer our players the opportunity to progress along the pathway to the SAFC Youth Development Initiative structure and the success we have had with Alex proves we are delivering against that ambition.
Everyone involved with the Young Reds and Stirling Albion FC wish Alex all the very best in the Youth Development Initiative and we will all follow his progress there with interest.

Fantastic work, fingers crossed there will be many more to follow in his footsteps.

Here's hopeing he's the first of many.
