Findlay Marshall

"Findlay is from near Stonehaven and he came in slightly later than the others (U12s) but like the all the ones we've mentioned so far, he was in the first ever Katoni Cup squad at the Sports Village and was in the side that won it, which is nice to look back on. He came in from Dyce Boys' Club, from their 2006 boys. They've been a very successful group and won a couple of Scottish cups since at under 13 and under 16 level. "He's another one from the Performance School, a really hard worker in central midfielder, a defensive midfielder, mainly. He's got very strong leadership qualities. He's always had that from a very young age. He's very dedicated and he's someone that I know Barry Robson thinks very highly of. My opinion is that Barry probably sees a lot of attributes in Findlay that may have been similar to himself in terms of his work rate and desire. As a coach, you always lean towards certain things that you like to see in a player, and I think they match very well. Findlay will always come and ask questions of the coaches as he?s always looking for ways to improve his game. Having had the extra support from the Performance School, it has really contributed to his progress so far as well." Gavin Levey, Academy Director, 20th June2022
