For a couple of years at Morton he felt needed.
Now, Lewis Strapp feels WANTED. And that’s why the young Scot has taken the plunge by kickstarting his career in Finland. After 12 years at Cappielow – he was one the club academy’s first-ever inductees – he finished up at Greenock this summer. When he walked out the door for the last time, there was no sadness or regret. Just pride, a little bit of anger and a desire to start a new adventure abroad. Strapp believes he deserved better from the club where he had spent his whole life.
Former gaffer Dougie Imrie and others at Morton will no doubt have their own side of the story. But the 24-year-old left-back is beginning a new chapter at Finnish side SJK under Scots coach Stevie Grieve. He could have stayed in the SPFL, with Championship sides after him. But a new life in Scandinavia, a new style of play – and the prospect of European football – swayed his decision. And Strapp is adamant he’s made the right choice.
