ARDEER Thistle will be looking sharp in their new away kit soon - thanks to an imaginative seven-year-old.

The Stevenston club's youth academy recently held a competition among players from the young sides to design a new away kit for the club.

Ardrossan and Saltcoats Herald: Ardeer Thistle's new away top was designed by youth player Rory Wales.

The winning kit would then be designed, printed and worn by all of the teams within the academy as well as the first team.

And the design chosen from all those who entered was that of seven-year-old Rory Wales.

Rory plays for the club's 2016 side and was informed of his win at a recent training session, where he was joined by the club's head of youth development Stuart Roy and first team manager Sean Kenney.

The pair presented Rory with his own personalised version of the new kit.

Stuart commented: "We are a club that believes football is for everyone. Well done to Rory; keep up the hard work, young man."

Rory's kit is a stunning white pinstripe top which combines black sleeves and purple shoulders with a white ribbed collar.

We're sure all the club's teams are going to love wearing it - and hopefully can be successful in it too!
