Lewis Toshney is the new manager of Downfield after announcing his retirement from the professional game.
The former Dundee and Dundee United defender has hung up his boots at the age of 28 to take on the helm at the Spiders.
Toshney’s career included playing for Celtic, Kilmarnock, Ross County, Cowdenbeath, Brechin City and Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
However, a series of injuries disrupted his time on the pitch, playing just 136 times since making his Hoops debut in 2011.
Toshney announced his move to the dugout on social media: “With the support of my family and friends, I would like to make this statement announcing my official retirement from professional football.
