dougie247 Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) Just on official site  http://ptfc.co.uk/ne...gns_for_thistle   Thursday 24th September 2015 at 11:05 The transfer window may have closed a few weeks ago but Alan Archibald’s search for additions to his squad is ongoing. With that in mind, we are delighted to announce that he has today, on a deal until May 2106, secured the services of attacking midfielder - and Australian under 23 inentionalist - Ryan Edwards. The 21 year old is a product of the Australian Institute of Sport and he arrived in the United Kingdom while still just 17 years old, joining the youth academy at Reading. Ryan, who can play just off the front man or in a wide role, spent a total of four years with Reading and progressed through the ranks making a total of seven first team appearances last season. During his time at The Royals Ryan also spent a season on loan with Perth Glory in his native Australia. Ryan’s development as a footballer hasn’t just been restricted to his time with Reading and Perth Glory as he has, for a number of years, been a key component of the Australian international set up. A current member of the under 23 squad, who in January will be hoping to qualify for the 2016 Olympics, Ryan was a member of the Australian squad that participated in the under 20 FIFA World Cup in 2013. All at Thistle wish Ryan well in his time at Firhill. Edited September 24, 2015 by dougie247 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Murray Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Looks a very good signing on paper. Â Has played in the championship for Reading. Got more attacking options now which given our goals for tally much needed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 He sees himself as a goal threat from midfield apparently, although his stats don't back this up at all. Â Still, could be ideal to sit behind the striker and act as the link between midfield and attack. Â Here's hoping he's good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Dastardly Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Looks good on Football Manager. He'll be in my starting 11.  Let's hope he's dinky-di   Good luck Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Legend Blows Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Fair play to The Management Team and Maxy because trying to sell a contract wi Thistle to anyone right now must be horrendous. Lets hope he doesn't turn out to be a flaming Galah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hankey Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Â Â Any more leaks from your source on how much the loss will be? That is all I know. Don't really wish to disclose who told me. It could be bollocks after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulo Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Seems like he's been on the fringes of the Reading first team last season. Decent level and still a youngster. Â Welcome to Firhill, Ryan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowenBoys Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) Will be a good addition to the wearethistle.co.uk squad. Pop over to the sponsorship thread, especially if you've missed all the fun so far, and bung in a tenner. Thanks much.

The Sunnylaw Jag Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Will be a good addition to the wearethistle.co.uk squad. Pop over to the sponsorship thread, especially if you've missed all the fun so far, and bung in a tenner. Thanks much. Should the board not be employing you BowenBoys; you seemed to have the knack for fundraising down to a tee? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Looks like he could be the man to link the midfield to attack and hopefully spark some life into our forays into the attacking third of the pitch. Archie certainly hasn't given up the ghost let's hope the players and fans follow 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowenBoys Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Should the board not be employing you BowenBoys; you seemed to have the knack for fundraising down to a tee?  This is strictly a one-off Sunnylaw - or a ten (or 11?) off.   Looks like he could be the man to link the midfield to attack and hopefully spark some life into our forays into the attacking third of the pitch. Archie certainly hasn't given up the ghost let's hope the players and fans follow  Come on, jagfox. A bit of fundraising is one thing but I think you're expecting a bit much from me!  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
