Jack Healy Signs Professional Contract

We are delighted to announce that Jack Healy has penned his first professional contract with the club.

Jack joined the Under 20s set up in the summer of 2019 and mad his first team debut in as a substitute against Dumbarton in November that year. With the 2020/21 season abandoned due to the covid pandemic, Jack joined St. Andrew’s United on loan for the first half of that season before again joining up with the first team towards the end of the season and making a couple of more appearances.

Jack joined Lowland League side East Stirlingshire on loan for the first half of this season, earning great reviews from both the Shire’s management team and supporters before being recalled in January.

Stevie Crawford: “We are delighted that Jack has agreed to sign until the summer of 2023. Since coming back to the club, I’ve managed to take in a number of games involving our younger players and Jack has caught my attention with his energy.

“We called him back from a successful loan spell at East Stirling so I would like to thank them for the part they played in Jack’s development, along with all of the youth coachers at East Fife.

“Jack being a local boy also excites us as he wants the club to do well but he has earned this contract on merit. Now the hard work begins as we try to develop Jack’s game further and see if he can force his way into the starting line-up.”

Congratulations Jack!

John Barclay Appointed Vice-Chairman

We’re pleased to announce the appointed of John Barclay as our new Vice-Chairman.

John’s association with East Fife can be traced back to when he first attended Old Bayview with his Dad, at the age of 6, and was immediately hooked, becoming a regular supporter shortly after.

John spent 15-years in the Royal Air Force as an Avionic Technician and followed that up with a year working at the Dockyard in Rosyth. He then worked off-shore with McDermott’s for 10-years before a 15-year spell as landlord of the Millfield in Leven and a 10-year stint as Secretary of the Fife Licensed Trade Association.

John joined the Board of Directors in 2002 and, except for a 2-year spell under a former Chairman, has been ever-present since. With his licensed trade background, John has been, and will continue to be, responsible for looking after the matchday hospitality and overseas functions held at the club.

John Barclay: “Following the passing of Dave Marshall, I was asked to fill the role of Vice-Chairman. It’s big shoes to fill but having been on the Board since 2002 and witnessed many ups and downs over the years I will do my best to help the club navigate through our current situation. Off the field, we have a good team in our present group of Directors and I’m sure we can move forward, together with our new management team, to improve the team on the park as well”.

Chairman Jim Stevenson: “I welcome the appointed of John Barclay as our new Vice-Chairman. John has been at my side for more than 20 years, through thick and thin, and I’m confident that John will continue to give his all for the club. He will continue with his current duties while taking on the additional task of Vice-Chairman and continue to serve the club well.”
