Despite only being 29, Dow has been around various clubs. From what I have found on The Official Site and Soccerbase (someone should tell the latter it's called football), I have discovered he has played for, at some stage, and in no particular order, the following clubs: Chelsea, Bradford, Motherwell, Aberdeen, Hibs and Sporting 85.
Hendrie's attentions have probably turned to Dow since Eddie Forest, who was reportedly training with Saints, is about to sign part-time for Berwick Rangers.
ALso in pre season training with Saints is Liam Keogh, who played about 15 minutes against Raith Rovers before picking up an injury. He'll be given a chance to show what he can do over the close season.
