COWDENBEATH manager Jimmy Nicholl has added to his squad by securing former Falkirk midfielder Colin Marshall.

Glasgow-born Marshall (29), began his career with Aston Villa, winning the FA Youth Cup with them in 2002. Since leaving the English side, he enjoyed spells at St Johnstone, Airdrie Utd and Dundee as well as winning the First Division with the Bairns back in 2005.

More recently, Marshall has spent time playing abroad with clubs in Spain and Iceland as well as Japan, and the midfielder will bring a considerable amount of experience to the Blue Brazil.

Marshall will wear the squad number 26 for the season.
