Anton Dowds
Arbroath are delighted to announce the signing of 24-year-old striker Anton Dowds who joins the club on loan from Falkirk.
Anton hit the headlines whilst playing for the Heriot-Watt University side where he scored 50 goals in all competitions in the 2017-2018 season.
Anton was at Heriot-Watt for 4 years before East Fife offered Anton a contract after impressing during a pre-season trial.
In his first full season in senior football Anton scored 12 goals in 42 appearances for East Fife finishing as their top scorer including a goal against Arbroath in our League One winning season and was named SPFL League One Player of the Month for January.
Anton was rewarded with an improved contract by East Fife and scored 7 goals before the season was curtailed due to the pandemic.
There was a lot of interest in Anton after his performances for East Fife, and it was Falkirk who won his signature with the striker signing a full time contract with the club in 2020/2021 season.
Anton played against Arbroath last season in the Scottish Cup at Gayfield but we look forward to seeing Anton in action for the Lichties and he will go straight into the squad for this weekend.
Many thanks to everyone at Falkirk including our former Manager, Paul Sheerin for making this loan possible.
Welcome to the club Anton!
C’mon the Lichties!
