James Lyon |
James Lyon was born on Sunday, 27th October, 2002, in Glasgow. The midfielder was introduced to Ian McCall's Thistle late in 2019, having most recently been with Partick Thistle U-18. Aged 17, he made his debut appearance on Friday, 2nd October, 2020, in a 2-0 friendly defeat at home to Heart of Midlothian. He scored his first goal for the club on Friday, 24th June, 2022, in a 1-0 friendly win away to Kelty Hearts. His club-list includes Partick Thistle, Stenhousemuir and East Fife. James is contracted at Firhill until May, 2025. |
A naturally gifted midfield playmaker, comfortable on the ball for one so young. He'd not long turned 17 when he first appeared in Ian McCall's team in October 2020, getting 12 minutes of a belated pre-season friendly against Hearts. Got a brief run-out in a League match at Forfar before the year was out. James got his name on our assist chart that term, providing for Joe Cardle in the end-of-season 3-2 defeat at Montrose. The youngster had done more than enough to warrant the two-year modern apprentice deal that was signed in May, 2021, and Ian McCall swithered as to whether or not to put the young player on the Championship platform, but opted instead for the loan deal with 4th tier Stenhousemuir. James scored a spectacular debut goal for the Warriors in a 2-1 League Cup win at Dumarton in July 2021. He made 22 appearances during the campaign, but there were no further goals. Upon his return to Thistle, in June, 2022, James scored his first goal for the club, the matchwinner in a 1-0 pre-season friendly win at Kelty. |
