Topic: The Ox signs on 2 year deal.
1. Author: kozmasrightfoot Date: Fri 17th Jul 2026. 16:13 I know it`s mentioned in the other thread but a new signing usually gets a separate thread. Some people wont read the `Incoming` thread because they`ll think it`s still a discussion about the last signing. So, welcome Ox. Hopefully that will instantly make our defenders 10-20% more confident. Pars fan. Magpies fan. Mens tennis fan. Alternative rock fan. Not a fan of much else. Reply

3. Author: KirklistonPar Date: Fri 17th Jul 2026. 17:55 Loved the little video teaser. Gave me goosebumps even though I watched it after I’d seen that we had signed him. Reply
4. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Fri 17th Jul 2026. 18:31 I mean, this is a tremendous signing and wouldn’t surprise me if it’s north of quarter of a million, but who really cares? Welcome back Ox! Reply
5. Author: MinnesotaAndy Date: Fri 17th Jul 2026. 18:34 Very happy that the club got Ox back. I didn`t think they would be able to do it. One other player I`d like to see return is Olly Thomas, even if it is only a loan deal. Reply

Welcome back Ox! I heard 200k and I thought that was a big fee. This is Andy Tod`s world and we are lucky to live in it. Reply

Welcome back Ox! I heard 200k and I thought that was a big fee. £200k is a big fee for this league. Anything into 3 figures is a big fee for the Champ, due to how low clubs incomes are at this level. But if Bord etc are willing to back us to go up, then bring it on. They spent £4m on Sheff Weds for zero return in the end. Imagine they had pumped that into us. Reply
8. Author: Paralex Date: Fri 17th Jul 2026. 20:43 Very glad we were able to get a deal done. I`m sure he will do the business at EEP. Reply
9. Author: Dandy Warhol Date: Fri 17th Jul 2026. 21:49 Good money given his impact on our cup run? I don`t wanna go down like disco. Reply
10. Author: wee eck Date: Fri 17th Jul 2026. 22:03 Interview is up on COWS. He speaks very highly of our goalie coach, Andy Collier. Reply
11. Author: BlackLight Date: Fri 17th Jul 2026. 22:22 I can`t remember the Pars support ever being this up for signing a goalie. Reply
12. Author: Never10yairds Date: Fri 17th Jul 2026. 23:08 Really pleased to get this sorted. Goalie issues cost us so many soft goals and points last season, have every confidence in the Ox after he dramatically improved us in that position when he came in last season. Getting the goalie position sorted was a necessity if we wanted to compete for the title and I’m glad we have done it. Great addition. Well done to the club. Reply
13. Author: AdamAntsParsStripe Date: Fri 17th Jul 2026. 23:21 BlackLight, Fri 17 Jul 22:22 I can`t remember the Pars support ever being this up for signing a goalie. It probably came to a head after Arbroath game when both our goalies had a nightmare in the same game. Ox definitely will lose goals and make mistakes but my view of him was he brought a calming influence in the defence and that was the important factor. He doesn’t panic and makes himself big whereas Deniz was stranded on his line and Terrell while a fine goalie has made some questionable decision making runs and isn’t commanding his box enough.

Was such a shame he missed the Partick game, especially when there was no clash of fixtures & he was only needed for Motherwell`s bench. No one at this level is immune from mistakes but I agree - it`s been a universally positive reaction to his signing that has been brilliant to see. The Arbroath play off summed him up for me - conceded that late foul but dusted off the disappointment / annoyance at himself & saved the penalty to get us through. Really glad he`s back and permanently 😎👏🏼 COME ON YE PARS! Reply
