Defender Service joins Edinburgh City
Ambitious Edinburgh City have added another player to their squad ahead of the new Scottish League Two campaign. Defender Jake Service (pictured) has put pen to paper on a deal and the centre-half comes to the Meadowbank club after playing in the Lowland League for The University of Stirling for the last four years. Stranraer-born Service was part of the team which last season played Dundee United in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup at Tannadice in January 2023. United won 3-0 thanks to goals from Aussie full-back Aziz Behich after 45 minutes, Jamie McGrath with an overhead kick after 68 and a lob from Greg Middleton in 81 minutes. The university side won the East of Scotland Cup in season 2023/24 against Edinburgh City and he reunites with former team-mate, James Stokes, who scored the winning goal in that game. An Edinburgh City spokesman confirmed this is the first time that the 23-year-old has played at Scottish Professional Football League level. Like this: Like Related
