name. He spent his early career at Heart of Midlothian, but he could only manage a handful of appearances before being released. He
is best remembered by Hearts fans for two assists in a 2–1 defeat of Edinburgh derby rivals Hibs in a match played at Easter Road on
3 November 2002. Janczyk was released by Hearts in 2005 and he then signed for St. Johnstone and after failing to hold down a
regular place he was loaned out to Raith Rovers and then Stranraer. He was released by St. Johnstone at the end of the 2006–07
season after two years with the club. A subsequent transfer to Brechin in 2007 led to the most notable period of Neil's career to date,
as he made over 100 appearances for The Hedgemen.He then signed for Berwick in 2012 and played in nearly 50 matches for The

the Bairns between ages thirteen and eighteen. Signed for Tynecastle for season 2009/10 and had two years there prior to six
months at Whitehill Welfare – left Rosewell for Vale Of Leithen in early 2012, had a season and a half there then returned for a
second spell at Whitehill, lasting two seasons this time. An energetic presence in attack, Wayne quickly impressed regular

Millfield on 12 August when he opened the scoring against Dalkeith Thistle.

Born 12 October 1986. Versatile player with a winning mentality, in his short time at the club to date Humey has filled roles at right
back, right and central midfield, central defence and up front. First played Junior football as a 19 year old under the late Jackie
Myles at Tranent Juniors in 2006/07 but after just a year at Foresters Park he moved to Lothian Thistle in the East Of Scotland
League, remaining there until the start of 2011 when he entered the amateur ranks with Lochend. The supposed drop in status did
nothing to harm his career, as at the beginning of the 2012/13 campaign he joined East Stirlingshire – after half a season at the
Shire though he returned to the East Of Scotland League with Leith Athletic. Linked up with brother in law Johnny Harvey when the
latter took over as manager of Edinburgh United in the summer of 2013 and captained them to the South Division title in his first
season before helping them hold their own in the Premier League last season. Missed the first four games of the current season
through suspension, his return recently a big boost. A joiner to trade.
