“That again 4, complemented with Ross Smith and Aidan McDonald, seems to be wholesome and there's competitors for locations.
“BJ Coll was the one senior defender left, and we’ve added to that with Jonathan Web page, Stephen Bronsky and Billy Mortimer, so it begins to appear like a again 4.
“But when one of many younger lads is available in and has one among them sitting on the their bottom I’d be delighted.”
Rutkiewicz says his facet gained’t accept what they've thus far, as he has observed rivals including power in depth.
He added: “We are going to push by way of no less than yet one more, doubtlessly two extra, signings. I’m wanting throughout the league and each different workforce is strengthening as properly, we’re not the one ones.
“Berwick have made massive strikes available in the market, Broomhill are rebuilding and look as in the event that they’re going to be a correct check. Tranent are going to be very sturdy, like they’re proving, and they'll add to that. It’s going to be thrilling.”
