Walsall snap up popular Airdrie defender as ex-Aberdeen man is 'over the moon'
Airdrie have announced their third exit of the day after defender Mason Hancock decided to join English side Walsall. The Englishman was a popular player at the Diamonds and had spent the past five years in Scotland, having come through the youth ranks at Pittodrie and then gone on to play for Abroath and Stirling Albion.

The 22-year-old old made 29 appearances in the Diamond last term under boss Rhys McCabe, scoring four goals, but admits he is thrilled to get a move back down south on a two-year deal. Hancock told the Walsall website: 'I'm over the moon to be honest. I can't wait to get started. Pre-season and the beginning of the season can't come quicker for me.

'The way the gaffer talks, he wants to bring in young players that are hungry and really kick them on so everything that he wants this club to stand for fits right in with everything I want to do with my career and where I am now. In my opinion, it was a no brainer to make my decision and come here.' An Airdrie statement read: "Following the expiry of his contract, defender Mason Hancock has opted to move back home to England and has joined Walsall FC. "Mason leaves the club with our thanks for his efforts and our best wishes for the future."
