Jack Fitzwater hopes recent games against Jack Grealish and Paul Pogba will help him “hit the ground running” at Livingston FC.The defender joined Livingston from West Bromwich Albion at the start of this month but played some friendly games with The Baggies immediately before departing.He believes that mixing it in such company can only help him to cement a place in Gary Holt’s starting eleven.Fitzwater said: “I was at West Brom all the way through until the end of June so I got a few preseason games in then and I signed here on July 4.“Our first game was against Villa and they had a real strong side out. I think we played four 30 minutes so everyone got a decent amount of time.

Livingston.The defender is one of seven additions to Gary Holt’s squad over the summer, but is one of the few to arrive with recent game time under his belt.He turned out for Slaven Billic’s side in friendlies against Manchester United and Aston Villa as part of English football’s Project Restart, which saw the top two tiers play their seasons to a finish.The Baggies took full advantage by securing their promotion to the promised land, but even after going toe-to-toe with some of the best the league has to offer, Fitzwater was adamant he had to head north for the good of his career.“Our first game was against Aston Villa and they had a really strong team out,” he explained.

Livingston have completed the signing of goalkeeper Max Stryjek on a three-year deal.The 24-year-old Pole spent last season at English National League side Eastleigh having previously spent four years with Sunderland where he failed to make an appearance.Stryjek has represented Poland at youth level from under-17 to under-19.The stopper featured as a trialist as the Lions played their first friendly of the pre-season at the weekend, drawing 0-0 with newly promoted Dundee United at Tannadice.

Robby McCrorie has returned to Livingston after the keeper today signed a season-long loan deal from Rangers.The 22-year-old made eight appearances for the Lions last term before the Covid-19 pandemic brought about an early finish to the campaign.The Ibrox stopper becomes the fourth new arrival of the summer after winger James Forrest, defender Jack Fitzwater and attacker Matej Poplatnik.The Scotland under-21 keeper signed a contract extension with Rangers earlier this summer but the arrival of Jon McLaughlin meant he was always likely to be loaned out once more.

Livingston have announced the signings of defender Jack Fitzwater and striker Matej Poplatnik.Defender Fitzwater, 22, signs from West Bromwich Albion and previously enjoyed a loan spell at Walsall alongside fellow Lions Nicky Devlin and Jon Guthrie.He featured once for the Baggies, in an FA Cup victory over Charlton in January.Striker Poplatnik, 27, hails from Slovenia and most recently featured for Indian Premier League side Kerala Blasters.The former Slovenian under-21 international enjoyed a prolific goalscoring record in his homeland, most notably during two spells at Triglav Kranj.They join former Ayr United winger Alan Forrest as summer arrivals at the Tony Macaroni Arena.The Lions are still hopeful of adding to their squad with
