The club were devastated to receive the news that former kitman Jim Frame passed away yesterday after a long battle with illness.

A popular figure with players and staff alike, ‘Framey’ joined the club in 2002 and was involved in the Academy setup as well as his more well-known role as kitman for the first team and reserves.

Jim’s contribution to the club was recognised in 2018 as the final recipient of the John Ballantyne Award, before he sadly left the club due to ill-health last season.

Our thoughts are with Jim’s family and friends at this terribly sad time.
