Out with the old and in with the new

The winter break often marks a point of change rather than reflection.

For Woodbank FC, that change has come in midfield, with one familiar figure moving on and an experienced replacement brought in as the Championship season resumes.

OUT WITH THE OLD: Adnan Husan

For several seasons, Adnan Husan was a central figure in the Woodbank midfield. Operating as a creative midfielder, he was often the player Woodbank looked to when trying to control possession and unlock defences.

His influence meant opposition sides regularly focused on limiting his space, aware of his ability to spot passes and create chances in tight areas. At the end of the season, Husan opted for a fresh start. Following a short trial period at Nethercraigs AFC, he has now moved to Southside United, bringing an end to a significant spell at Woodbank.

IN WITH THE NEW: Scott Sneddon

Position: Midfielder

Previous Status: Unattached

If Adnan Husan represented the flair of the previous era, Scott Sneddon represents the tactical intelligence required for the next. Known as “Snid,” the midfielder arrives at Woodbank FC after a spell in over-35s football, but his background at Championship level makes him a familiar type for the division rather than a gamble.

Sneddon’s record at this level is well established:

• Championship Winner: Part of a title-winning side at this level.
• League Experience: Multiple seasons playing in the Championship environment.
• The “Lost” Title: A campaign curtailed by the COVID-19 shutdown, denying the chance to complete a second title run.

With Sneddon unattached and available, Woodbank moved quickly to bring him in. The shift is clear — where Husan brought creativity, Sneddon brings experience, organisation, and on-pitch management.

Sneddon was awarded the player of the month in the championship for the month of September

With one era closing and another beginning, Woodbank head into the second half of the Championship season with a midfield that reflects where the club is now — experienced, organised, and built for the demands of the division.
