Montrose striker joins Open Goal Broomhill on loan to boost fitness

Montrose striker Martin Rennie has joined Open Goal Broomhill on a short-term loan.

The 28-year-old is still working his way back to full fitness after injury and illness ruled him out for the majority of last season.

Rennie has found himself as an unused substitute in recent weeks and boss Stewart Petrie has opted for him to head out on loan to gain some match fitness.

He will join up with Simon Ferry’s side until January.

Announcing the signing, the Cumbernauld side Tweeted: “Delighted to welcome Martin to the club.”

The loan will be Rennie’s second spell in the Lowland League this season.

In August, the Fife-born forward joined up with Berwick Rangers.

He featured three times for The Black & Gold, even playing a full 90 minutes against Open Goal.

However, he was recalled later in the month due to an injury crisis in the Gable Endies squad.

Rennie scored on his return to the side after being brought on for the final seven minutes in a 3-0 win over Kelty.

He could make his Open Goal debut tonight when his new side host Gretna 2008 at Broadwood.
