Berwick Rangers add more first team names to 2026/27 retained list
Berwick Rangers duo Liam Gregory and Thomas Kay have both extended their stays at the club.
Liam Gregory and Thomas Kay have become the latest players to commit their futures to Berwick Rangers ahead of next season.
The Borderers’ squad is already beginning to take shape ahead of the 2026/27 campaign, with defender Callum Mackay having recently extended his stay at Shielfield Park as well.
In Gregory’s case, he will be hoping for an upturn in fortunes next term having spent much of last season sidelined through injury. The former Dunbar talent has been limited to just seven appearances in recent months, but head coach Kevin Haynes has seen more than enough to convince him that the winger can play a big part for his side moving forward.
He said: “It’s great to have Liam signed up for another season, as he demonstrated what he’s capable of in the performances that he put in towards the tail end of last season. This was all after a long spell on the sidelines – getting injured in preseason, making a comeback, and picking up a second injury.
“So to get him on the pitch towards the end was great, and Liam came back quicker from that second injury than we’d have normally thought. Hopefully we can see the best of Liam next season and he can build on the decent performances he’s had so far”.
Similarly, 21-year-old goalkeeper Kay had his campaign curtailed by injury, and was unable to garner many minutes during loan spells at Edinburgh University and Edinburgh South. The expectation is that the young stopper will likely spend more time away from Berwick next season.
On Kay’s extension at Shielfield Park, goalkeeping coach Ross Merrilees said: “[I am] Delighted to be working with Tam again for another season with a view of preparing him for some prolonged game time out on loan.”
The pair, along with Mackary, are added to a squad which already has a strong core of returning players. Also confirmed as signed for next season at this stage are: Calum Antell, Jamie Pyper, Mark McConnell, Isaac Deh, Struan Mair, Kyle Somers, Ben McCrystal, Alex Harris, Michael Barfoot, Michael Mbewe, Danny Handling, and Greg Binnie.
