TRANENT Juniors are on the lookout for a new manager after Colin Nish departed the club.

The Foresters Park side finished their debut Scottish Lowland Football League (SLFL) season in fifth place.

Yesterday, they lost 2-1 at home to East Kilbride in the Lowland League Cup quarter-finals.

 

 

Nish, who previously managed Cowdenbeath, was only appointed manager of Tranent at the end of August.

He succeeded Calum Elliot, who steered the club to the fifth tier of Scottish football after winning the East of Scotland Football League Premier Division and then defeating both St Cuthbert Wanderers and Darvel in a play-off.

In a statement on social media, David Innes, the club chairman, confirmed they would appoint a new manager "as soon as possible".

He said: "The board have taken the difficult decision not to renew Colin's contract for next season.

"Not an easy one given our final league position.

"We would like to place on record our thanks to Colin and his team for their hard work throughout the season."
