St Johnstone Goalkeeper Josh Rae Eager to Maintain Team Spot

St Johnstone goalkeeper Josh Rae has stated that the opportunity to demonstrate his capabilities in goal has heightened his ambition to secure his position in the squad. The 24-year-old, who joined the club on a two-year agreement from Airdrieonians during the summer, commenced the season as the starting goalkeeper but subsequently forfeited his place when Ross Sinclair recovered from an injury. Nevertheless, Rae was recently reinstated into the team after Sinclair sustained a further injury. With both goalkeepers now fit, Rae is resolute in his determination to maintain his spot in the team. “Obviously Ross was in and he was doing well, but I just worked hard in training and waited for that opportunity again,” Rae said. “We push each other and get on really well, but it is just about keeping it going now and hopefully I can keep my place.” “At the start of the season it was difficult going straight into the team, I missed the last few months of last season so it was quite tough.” “But after dropping out of the team for a few games and getting back in, it has made me a lot hungrier to stay in there.”
