Current Squad
Barrie Hunter: At just under 6-foot tall, Barrie is an ex-Loganlea Amateurs custodian who was signed from Addiewell Hearts in the summer of 2006 and rejoined the club at the end of last season after initially returning to the amateur grade due to work commitments.

Ethan Connelly: Ethan is a young goalkeeper who was on the books at Stenhousemuir last season where he played in their much admired pro-youth set-up and signed from the Ochilview club at the end of August.

David Sneddon: Ex-Broxburn Athletic man Davie was signed from the Albyn Park outfit in September 2007 and his defensive abilities and reading of the game are several of the important assets that he has brought to bear here at Murrayfield Park.

Alan Keir: Full-back Alan was signed in November 2006 after recovering from an injury sustained shortly after several impressive trial performances in the early weeks of the 2006/07 season. Alan has turned out for both Lochgelly Albert and Armadale Thistle in his time.

Fraser Easton: Fraser is a commanding centre-half who signed on the dotted line in August 2009 having previously been with local rivals Stoneyburn.

Gordon Baxter: Centre half Gordon initially arrived at the Club at the very end of season 2003/04 under then manager John Jamieson before leaving in the early weeks of 2005/06 to take up full time study at University in Dundee. During his time in the City of Discovery Gordon had a brief flirtation with East Region North Division outfit Dundee Violet and arrived back at Murrayfield Park in 2008 a more experienced player.

Rab Brown: Full back or sweeper Rab is in another player in his second spell with United, resiging in July 2009 after initially joining up from local amateur side Happy Valley in August 2006 before returning to that grade eighteen months later due to work commitments.

Blake Stewart: Signed at the end of September 2009 after several trialist outings earlier in the year, Blake is a powerful player previously on the books of Broxburn Amateurs and SFL side Alloa Athletic and will provide Mark and Jamie with options both in defence and in midfield.

Craig Spence: Signed from Airdrieonians during the 1998/99 campaign after winning the 1997 under-17 Scottish Cup with the Diamonds, 29 year old Craig originally arrived as a fast moving and tricky front man but, interestingly, found the type of success in the sweeper role that earned him the 2004/05 Player of the Year award, an award he retained at the end of the 2005/06 campaign and regained for a third time last season. Craig is also Club captain and celebrated his testimonial year last season.

Richard Miller: Arriving at Murrayfield Park in November '08, Richard is a central defender who was signed from SFL side Stenhousemuir.

Jordan Rintoul: 21 year old, Jordan is a young player who had featured on the periphery of the Stenhousemuir first team in the SFL Third Division before signing in the summer of 2008, although he made his debut as a trialist during the 2-1 win at Broxburn Athletic in December 2007. Jordan started out his footballing career with Raith Rovers in 2004, playing regularly up front in their youth teams, and has also featured briefly with Fauldhouse United and Cumbernauld United.

Alan Brown: Alan spent several years at Murrayfield after joining as a seventeen year old from Airdrie under age football but moved onto Petershill in the West Region back in  2001. After brief spells with Lesmahagow and Cumbernauld United, Alan returned to Blackburn in September 2006 to bring a degree of poise and balance to the midfield. Alan has been the club's Player's Player of the Year for the past two seasons.

Alan Fleming: Adept with the ball at his feet or standing over a free-kick, Alan has had previous Junior experience with West Calder United and Broxburn Athletic amongst others and joined up at Murrayfield Park in August 2009.

Ryan Donnelly: Ryan is a pacy wide man who spent the end of last season on loan at Murrayfield Park from SFL Second Division side Stenhousemuir before commiting to the club by signing in July 2009.

Greig Crooks: A combative midfielder who is strong in the tackle, Greig played several games as a trialist at the end of 2007/08 and impressed sufficiently to be signed and added to the squad in July 2008.

Gary Peebles: Gary made a goalscoring debut against Kirkcaldy YM in last season's Eddie Queen Memorial Trophy semi-final and followed that up with the opening goal against Airdrie United in Craig Spence's Testimonial a week later. Gary was previously plying his trade in Stirlingshire youth football.

Fraser Gillespie: Signed from Grahamston BC at the end of July 2008, Falkirk lad Fraser is a midfielder comfortable in possession of the ball and who is capable of picking the right pass at the right time.

Steph McCardie: Signed from Lanarkshire side St. Margaret's U21's, Steph has been at Murrayfield Park since 1996 and was the club's Player of the Year in 2007/08. He can be found in midfield or a little further forward and is at his most dangerous when running at defences.

Martin Stewart: Martin joined the club on loan from SFL Third Division side Stenhousemuir during 2007/08 and made eighteen appearances before returning to Ochilview. However, the wide midfield player returned to Murrayfield Park for a second loan spell and is now a fully fledged member of the United squad.

Dean Strathie: Midfielder Dean is on a season long loan spell from SFL Second Division side Stenhousemuir and hopes to do enough at Murrayfield Park to force his way into the reckoning at Ochilview when he returns there.

Andy McQuillan: Andy is a relatively young striker who made a couple of appearances as a trialist near the end of 2006/07 and arrived at Murrayfield Park via West Calder United to become the club's top scorer for the last two seasons.

Grant Plenderleith: Grant is in his second loan spell at the club from SFL Second Division side Stenhousemuir, the eighteen year-old having began his first stint at Murrayfield with a January debut goal against Tranent. Along with several assists, his lightening turn of pace went on to earn him five goals in seventeen appearances as the team ran into a rich vein of form midway through the 2008/09 campaign.

Peter Keenan: Striker Peter has previous Junior experience with Dalkeith Thistle and signed on the dotted line in July '09.

Paddy Donnelly: Another of several players in the squad in their second spell at Murrayfield, front man Paddy rejoined United in August 2009 after the second of a two season spell in the West Premier League with Kilsyth Rangers was blighted by injury.

Mark Campbell: Deemed surplus to requirements by Gary Wilcox at the end of 2004-05, Mark moved onto Broxburn Athletic but returned barely 2 months later to take over as Player/Manager.
