East Fife FC are delighted to confirm that manager Darren Young has extended his contract until the summer of 2023. We are sure that this will continue the stability within the first team set up. Darren already has begun his planning for next season and we hope to be able to announce our first new signings of the summer within the next few days.
Darren Young commented: “'I am delighted to have agreed a two-year extension to my contract and I am already excited about what next season will bring for us.
“I feel that we have had progress year on year since I came to the club and this season, we were within two goals of securing a top 5 finish and ultimately finished 5 points off second spot in the league.”
“Every year League One has been more difficult than the year before and the forthcoming season will be just the same with some ambitious & experienced clubs joining us. We will however, be well prepared for the challenges ahead with the pre-season training starting in just 4 very short weeks.”
It has been mutually agreed between the Club and Scott Agnew that the player be released from the remaining year of his contract.
Aggy has moved home to be nearer his family and with the success of his business the additional travelling would make it difficult for him to make training.
Over the last 3 years Scott has contributed greatly both on & off the field with 96 appearances and 25 goals, many of which were of the spectacular variety. He was part of the team that ended our long running hoodoo against Raith Rovers, but it is his unerring passing that will live long with the fans.
Aggy leaves with the best wishes of everyone at the Bayview & we all thank him for his efforts over the last 3 seasons.
Manager Darren Young commented: “Aggy has been a great servant to the club over the last 3 years. We fully understand his need to spend more time with his family & on his business. He has scored some remarkable goals and taken on the mantle of captain when Kevin Smith has been injured and has been a model professional both on & off the park. I wish him well for the future”.
