Six foot four inch goalkeeper Nick Suman is the latest to sign on for our League One campaign in 2023-24.

The twenty-three year old featured in the second half of Connor Scully’s Testimonial Match on Saturday afternoon, and made a number of impressive saves.

Paul Hartley is thrilled to have captured the highly-rated keeper on a two-year full-time deal:

“Nick has been highly recommended to us. We took a look at him and spoke to guys in Australia, and we believe he will be a great addition to the squad.

“He’s only 23 but he has played at a good level in Australia. He’s a big physical presence, he has got good kicking, and he commands his backline well. I’m really looking forward to working with him.

“By bringing Nick in it solves that goalkeeping issue that we had. We now have two really good goalkeepers at the club, and it’s down to Bal and Nick to battle it out for the number 1 jersey.”

Nick began his career with Western Sydney Wanderers, joining new A-League side MacArthur FC for their inaugural campaign.

He believes making the move from down under can be a major step in him moving his career to another level:

“I’m ecstatic to be here! I played professionally in Australia for the past 5 years in the top league. I featured in a handful of games for MacArthur last season, and despite the outcome, it was great to gain the experience.

“It was a big decision to make the move from Australia to Scotland, but I am ambitious, and I want to test myself. When I spoke to Paul and Derek, I was confident I was making the right move for my career.

“The club has been fantastic with me so far, everyone has been really friendly and they have helped me to settle in. I met Balint the other day too, and I’m really looking forward to competing with him for that number one spot. He’s a really nice guy, and I’m sure we’ll push each other to become better players throughout the course of the season.

“I just can’t wait to get going now, and to show everyone what I’m all about.”

The deal is subject to international clearance.
