Thistle trio pen deals

Partick Thistle have handed contracts to youngsters Lee Gallagher, Jordan Leyden and Liam Lindsay.

The three players have emerged through Thistle's Youth Programme and have each earned two-year deals at Firhill Stadium. Gallagher and Lindsay joined the First Division club from St Cadocs Youth Club at the start of last season and played a vital part as the Thistle Under-17s squad finished runners-up in the league. Leyden makes the step up from the Under-16s and Head of Youth Development Gerry Britton is pleased the club are looking to youngsters for the future. He told Thistle's official website: "I'm delighted the boys have signed. This is an exciting opportunity for both the boys and the Club."
