Arbroath FC has announced the signing of defender Gordon Walker on an 18-month contract. Walker, 25, joins from Cork City.
What does this mean for Arbroath?
The signing of Walker will boost Manager Jim McIntrye's playing squad, which has been hit with an unprecedented injury crisis. Gordon is a right back but can also play at centre back and right wing back.
Why is this signing important?
This signing is important as Arbroath looks to maintain their position in the Championship. As of June 28, 2026, Arbroath sits 3rd in the Championship with 52 points, 13W-13D-10L from 36 games, and a recent form of DDWLL. | Category | Value | | League Standing | 3rd | | Points | 52 | | Recent Form | DDWLL |
What comes next for Arbroath?
Arbroath's last result was a 0-0 draw against Dunfermline on May 8, 2026. With the addition of Walker, Arbroath hopes to improve their performance and close the 25-point gap with leaders ST Johnstone. The recent form of 0W-3D-2L will need to be turned around if Arbroath wants to make a push for the top spot.
