We would like to thank all the departing players for their dedication during their time with the Club and would like to wish them all the very best for their future endeavours.

Further updates on the remaining players will be provided when available.

Callum and Paul joined us at the start of our SPFL journey and helped create so many great memories.  Callum has had a superb career in Scottish football and we were honoured he chose his final seasons to be at Spartans.  Paul overcome a horrendous injury in December 2024 to come back into the squad for the final weeks this season two operations and some 16 months later.  He is considering moving abroad to play and whoever he goes to will get a player who has such an impressive impact across the dressing room.

Kieren was a critical part of our Lowland League winning squad and his 166 games/3 goals show how important he has been in the SPFL.  A real fans favourite.  We will miss Kieran however his personal circumstances mean he wants to play at a level below the SPFL and closer to home. 

Kenzi is now a free agent having left Hearts after his loan season with us.  He featured in 36 competitive games last season, and he is now considering various options as the next step in his career.

Steven scored two Spartans goals with great finishes and we wish him well in his retirement.  

Jake did well for us after a long spell out with injury and it was a real shame a further injury against EK ruled him out for the rest of the season.  We also wish Jake well as he works out his next step in football.

Adam has a great work opportunity he is taking up and will leave the Edinburgh area.

Given, Sam, Mackie and James who move on do so with our very best wishes having played senior fixtures for us over the last few seasons.   Sam and Given have been at the club for almost 15 years and have come through our Youth Section to make 1st XI appearances.  They will be great additions to their new teams.
