Glenrothes FC announce striker as second summer signing

The former Rosyth and Hill of Beath forward, who was on the books of Newburgh Juniors last season, arrives to boost manager Stuart Cargill’s squad as they prepare for another campaign in the East of Scotland Football League Premier Division.

Hampson told club media: “I can’t wait to get started with the Glens. From my first meeting with the management team I’ve been excited to be part of this new era for myself and the club.

"Their project for the future made it an easy decision for me to join.”

And Glens gaffer Cargill added: “I’m delighted to secure the services of Tam.

"He’ll add real firepower to the team and with a wealth of experience will help the younger lads develop.

"Tam has a proven goalscoring record wherever he’s been and we’ve no doubt he’ll carry that on at Warout Stadium.”
