CRAIG SIBBALD DEPARTS

The 23 year old midfielder, who has played over 250 times for the club, departs having expressed a strong desire to continue his career elsewhere.

Craig has been an outstanding servant to the club over a number of years and has played a key part in a number of high profile matches throughout his time at The Falkirk Stadium.

Manager Paul Hartley, said: “Naturally I am disappointed to lose Craig as he has been an important player for this club over a number of years.

“We made Craig an improved contract offer to retain his services, however it was evident from a very early stage in our conversations that he wanted to challenge himself elsewhere.

“It is important that we have players in our squad who want to be here and our summer recruitment drive continues at full speed to bring in those individuals.

“I personally would like to wish Craig the very best for the future and know that those views will be shared by everyone at the club and the Falkirk support.”
