Football is slowly getting going again and the Under 20s Development Squad are due to start their season on 6 November. So this seems a good point to bring some updates from our very successful player pathway.
Firstly Kai Wilson, who played for 2 seasons with our 2002s squad and a further season in the Under 20s, secured a fantastic move to Livingston FC.
Also making the move to senior football is Drew Cummings, who was signed by Tweedmouth this summer. This is a great move for Drew to continue on his Development.
Thirdly, following a spell on loan, Keir Young also secured his professional contract by signing with Oakley this summer.
This is really great success for the Camelon Juniors player pathway that can celebrate 8 players moving to senior football in our first 2 seasons. This is a sign of our commitment to the players development and our Club Academy status that the Under 20s have also achieved.
In another highlight last season, the Under 20s reached their first Cup Final with a memorable win against East Fife and with victories against the top 4 finishing teams.
Everyone at Camelon Juniors would like to wish these boys every success in their development into being fine young professional footballers.
Camelon Juniors FC can announce the transfer of defender Blair Sneddon to Falkirk FC on a three-year deal.
Club Secretary Tony Smith said “we’re really pleased for Blair and his family. I will miss standing with his dad at games. It really does show that you can achieve your goals if you work hard and don’t give up. I’d like to thank Andy Thomson and Gary Deans at Falkirk for their professionalism and the way they conducted the business with us.”
Manager Gordon Herd said “we’re proud to see Blair secure this full-time contract. He took some early knocks in his career but he came to us, worked hard, and allowed us to help develop him. We are delighted he’s found his form again that was backed up by him securing his place in the Scottish School Boys squad last season. He’s a great example that if you take early knocks, the door is not always shut. This is a key focus of the club to develop young players and enable them to work their way up the leagues.”
We will miss you Blair but wish you every success at Falkirk. Here’s his interview for FalkirkTV.

Camelon Juniors would like to congratulate graduates from our Under 17s Academy team who have made the move over to our Under 20s Development Squad. Throughout the 2019/20 season, many of the U17s were featured in Friday night games and training as part of their pathway at the Club. One of the biggest games our U17s featured in was the SFA U18 Scottish Youth Cup.
Part of our U20s Development plan is to bring players in from within our Academy over the season and integrate them into the system and environment of senior football, helping to prepare them for the step up while enjoying their football within our youth program. This Development Plan is also geared towards our older players to make the move into senior football within Camelon or the wider senior game, and we celebrated as Keir Young and Kai Wilson both made the move from U20s to their pro contracts at senior level. All this is part of our commitment to Club Academy Scotland criteria, which Camelon Juniors was accredited with in November 2019, thanks to the hard work and diligence from U20s Secretary Allan Morrison.
Our Structure is a clear pathway to a higher level of football with Camelon Juniors FC and over the past 2 seasons our U20s have enabled 5 players to move into the senior game.
So, here are the players that have graduated to the u20s Development Squad. Congratulations to them all.
