BANNER'S BACK

Versatile 25-year-old seals Forthbank return a year after leaving Binos

- STUART MCFARLANE

Absence makes the heart grow fonder - or at least it does for returning Stirling star Kyle Banner after he sealed a move back to Forthbank after a year away.

The 25-year-old left Albion last summer in the wake of Darren Young's departure from the club, marking the end of a stint with the Binos which had begun when Banner was just a youngster.

But after a season with playoff-chasing Stenhousemuir in League One, the versatile defender/midfielder signed on for a return last week and made his second debut for the club in the weekend in the Stirlingshire Cup - ironically against former club Stenny.
