Partick Thistle FC can today confirm that Jamie Taggart and Sallu Turay have joined West of Scotland Football League Premier Division side Gartcairn on season-long loan deals, subject to Scottish FA clearance.
The two Thistle Weir Youth Academy graduates signed their modern apprenticeships at the club last month after a pre-season spent training with the first team.
Both Taggart and Turay, aged 18 and 16 respectively, played during our pre-season friendly schedule and have been named in multiple matchday squads since the start of the competitive season.
Everyone at the club wishes Jamie and Sallu the best of luck during their loan spell.
Thistle manager Kris Doolan said:
“I’ve always thought that it’s important for young players to be playing football and going out to Gartcairn will give Jamie and Sallu that opportunity.
“We’ve had them in with the first team over the summer and I’ve been impressed with a lot of what they’ve done but now it’s a slightly different challenge as they head to a competitive environment when there’s more pressure on them each week.”
