Duo sign new two-year deals to remain at City

Spark was a near ever-present last season, making 41 appearances across all competitions, the most in the squad.

His performances saw him rewarded with the both the Supporters’ Player of the Year and Players’ Player of the Year awards at the of the season.

It total the 29-year-old has now made 213 appearances in a City shirt across his two spells at Glebe Park.

City manager Andy Kirk told the club’s website: “I’m delighted that Euan has extended his contract by two years.

"He is an important player for me and this team and is very passionate about the football club.

"Euan made it clear from the start that he wanted to stay and try to help the club be successful.”

Spark, who is from nearby Edzell, said: “I’m delighted to extend my stay by another two years, which will bring my time at the club to a total of eight seasons and into another new league.

"I’m looking forward to the campaign ahead and to continue our push for promotion to the SPFL.”

Hutchinson joined from Forfar Athletic last summer and despite injuries made 25 appearances in all competitions, the 23-year-old impressing with his composure at the back.

Kirk said: “Adam is another player I believe will make this team stronger, he adds quality to the back line and brings a strong personality to the group.

“He is a player I liked straight away when I returned to the club in January and following discussions with him, he showed a real desire to continue playing for Brechin City.”

The retention of Spark and Hutchison are the latest pieces in the puzzle as the club prepares for its first season in the Lowland League East.

Kieran Sweeney, Lewis Martin, Kieran Inglis and Mitchell Findlay all remain under contract for next season.

However, Marley Sweenie-Rowe, Bayley Klimionek and Ben Armour are all departing at the end of their deals.

Callum Hannah, Calvin Beattie, Ethan Crombie and Grady McGrath have returning to their parent clubs following the conclusion of their loan spells.
