We’ are delighted to announce that Brogan Walls has signed an extension to his contract, keeping him at Bayview until the summer of 2024.

The 18-year-old midfielder joined the Under 20s side last summer having previously been on the books of Dunfermline Athletic and part of the Fife Elite set-up. He has featured on 15 occasions for the Under 20s last season, scoring twice, before being promoted to the first team in April where he featured on 4 occasions during the run-in.

Manager Stevie Crawford: “Brogan has been rewarded for pushing himself over the summer and how he has performed during training and in games over pre-season. His new contract brings him into line with what other players his age are earning at the club but more importantly, Brogan wanted to commit to the club as he has a genuine chance to play first-team football and gain experience that will make him a better and more complete player”.

Brogan added: “I was delighted to sign (the new contract). The gaffer spoke to me, said I was in his plans and wanted to sign me on for another year so as soon as I heard that I was delighted to get it signed”.

We kick off the 2022/23 season by welcoming Dunfermline Athletic to Bayview for our opening match in the Premier Sports Cup.

We’re delighted to announce the signing of defender Lucas Williamson on an 18-month deal.

19-year-old Lucas started out at Dundee United before joining Alloa Athletic in 2019. While at the Indodrill Stadium, he enjoyed loan spells as at Broomhill and Berwick Rangers, where he spent the second half of last season.

Stevie Crawford: “I’m really pleased to bring Lucas on board. He came in on trial over pre-season, showing a good attitude and hunger to earn a contract and continue his development at East Fife. Lucas can play anywhere on the left-hand side which gives us options and flexibility. We are looking forward to working with Lucas over the next 18 months to help him develop both on and off the pitch.”

Lucas goes straight into the squad for tomorrow’s Premier Sports Cup match against Dunfermline Athletic.

Welcome to Bayview Lucas!
