Squad Update - Players Under Contract

As mentioned during our Player of the Year awards ceremony, we have agreed contract extensions with a number of this seasons squad and, subject to SFA clearance, hope to announce these over the next few days.

In the meantime, we wanted to update you on the 8 players currently under contract: Scott Agnew, Danny Denholm, Ross Dunlop, Chris Higgins, Stewart Murdoch, Pat Slattery, Ryan Wallace and Liam Watt.

Midfielder Scott Agnew joined the club in May 2018 and has featured on 72 occasions so far, scoring 20 goals as well as picking up 4 awards at last week’s Player of the Year awards. Aggy penned a 2-year contract extension in September, keeping him at Bayview until the summer of 2022.

Winger Danny Denholm signed on last summer after leaving Arbroath where he was part of their League One title winning squad and has 30 appearances and 4 goals to his name from last season. Danny’s current deal runs until the end of the 2020/21 season.

Defender Ross Dunlop joined in May 2018 from Stenhousemuir, with whom he helped gain promotion to League One through the play-off the previous season. Ross has made 72 East Fife appearances to date, scoring once, and agreed a 2-year contract extension in September, running until June 2022.

Fellow centre half Chris Higgins penned a 2-year deal last summer after spending the latter half of the previous season on-loan from Ayr United. Chris has featured on 46 occasions so far, scoring twice, and recently made his 500 senior career appearance.

Right-back Stewart Murdoch joined us on loan in February 2019 for a 3rd time after originally turning out for the club in 2009/10 and 2010/11 season while on loan from Falkirk, before putting pen to paper on a 2-year deal last summer. Murdo took his East Fife tally to 66 appearances and 3 goals during last season.

Pat Slattery has made the left-back position his own over the last few seasons after initially joining the club as a central midfielder back in July 2015 for the start of our 2015/16 League Two title winning season. Pat has made 180 appearance over the past 5 season and chipping in with 5 goals. His current contract, signed in January 2019, runs until next summer.

Striker Ryan Wallace re-joined East Fife last summer from Arbroath after originally turning out from the club between 2011-12 where he scored an impressive 27 goals during the 2011/12 season & earning a move to full-time football. Waldo penned a 2-year contract last summer & is closing in on a half-century in the black and gold with 41 goals in 80 appearances so far.

Midfielder Liam Watt signed on at Bayview in June 2018 from Brechin City. Watty has 70 East Fife appearances and 10 goals to his name so far and agreed a 2-year contract extension in March 2019 which runs until next summer.

We’d also like to thank Callumn Morrison for his efforts at the club while on loan from Hearts. The early curtailment of the season meant Callumn was restricted to only appearances in the Black & Gold but we wish him all the best for the future.
