Johnstone Burgh boss Jamie McKim believes he has signed one of the best midfielders in the West of Scotland Football League after luring Del Esplin to Keanie Park.
The new arrival made more than 100 appearances for Pollok and won a number of individual awards at Newlandsfield.
Esplin, 31, joins ex-Scotland international Graham Dorrans in signing for Burgh ahead of next season, with McKim expecting big things from him.

“For me, he is one of the best central midfielders in the Premier League," said McKim. "I’ve watched every team in the Premier League this season and he is in the top two.”
Burgh’s penultimate game of the 2022/23 season ended in a 7-2 defeat at Whitletts Victoria on Saturday, with Brodie O’Neill and Malky McDonald on target for the away side.
McKim's men are back on the road again this Saturday as they play Blantyre Victoria in their final match of the campaign, with a 2pm kick-off at the KG Stadium.
