Dave “Shoots” Ewing has returned to Scotland following a successful stint in the English league with Oxford City.

He had this to say after completing his medical with the club: “I’m excited to return to Scottish Korfball after a few years honing my skills in England. I’m really looking forward to the challenges ahead and hope that I can help City to retain their league crown for the third year in a row.”

Graham Robertson and Lucie Maupetit move to Dundee KC.

After playing huge roles in ECKC’s double championship run, they have been snapped up to play in orange and will no doubt provide a huge boost to Dundee this year.
