Lynch resigns for City and has key role
Edin Lynch has signed a new contract with Edinburgh City and the Glasgow-born defender has a new role.
The 24-year-old player will take over captaincy of the club from 36-year-old, Edinburgh-born midfielder, Jon Robertson.
Last season was Lynch's first with the Meadowbank-based outfit after being part of Stenhousemuir's title winning side in season 2023/24.
City have also said that goalkeeper Mark Weir has signed a new contract with the club who finished third Scottish League Two last term, collecting 56 points from their 36 games, nine behind second-placed East Fife and ten adrift of champions, Peterhead.
They failed to earn promotion to Scottish League One through the play-offs, winning 1-0 at home to East Fife in the semi-final, first-leg in the Capital but losing 3-0 at Methil in the second-leg.
Season tickets are now available and the club have confirmed their Premier Sports Cup fixtures. They open on Saturday, July 12 (3pm) against Partick Thistle in Edinburgh, then they travel to Queen of the South on Tuesday, July 15 (7.45pm).
Their next outing is at home to Stranraer on Saturday, July 19 (3pm) and they then play Ross County, recently relegated from the William Hill Premiership, in Dingwall on Tuesday, July 22 (7.45pm).

Leinster 37-19 Glasgow Warriors: What the pundits said
Former Glasgow Warriors back Colin Gregor on BBC Radio Scotland: "Glasgow couldn't get any foothold in the game."The downpour shifted the dynamics. Catch and pass takes longer with a wet ball and Leinster adapted better."The old failings of Glasgow is when they don't have the ball, they try to force something, but they didn't have the accuracy they needed."Former Scotland captain John Barclay on Premier Sports: "Glasgow couldn't get their attacking shape all day and were absorbing pressure."They didn't have enough physicality and were well beaten."Former Leinster fly-half Ian Madigan on Premier Sports: "It's not the prettiest part of the game, but Leinster's kicking was so good and Glasgow couldn't respond. "There are kickers all over the Leinster team while the Warriors didn't seem to have a plan B."

Leinster 37-19 Glasgow Warriors: What Smith said
Glasgow Warriors head coach Franco Smith on Premier Sports: "Ultimately, we weren't good enough on the day. They started so quickly and we were chasing things from there, which is so hard."They kept the error and penalty count down while we didn't. I am really proud of our boys for our title defence this season."We had to be extraordinarily good and they would have had to be average at least and that didn't happen.""They are a quality outfit and, from the word go, I felt their urgency and they put pressure on us."But I am really proud. We had a lot of boys unavailable this week. I must look at the big picture. It was a tough task to come here and win."
