Leith Athletic under-16s will be in new hands this season with Todd Burgess taking over as coach from Danny Baxter who is stepping down after a successful spell in charge.

Under Danny’s supervision the boys reached Division One of the South East Regional Youth Leagues where they finished a creditable seventh out of 12 in 2023-24 after back-to-back promotions.

To mark the change the club are looking for a kit sponsor to ensure the team continue to cut a dash off the field as well as on it.
