The club can confirm that Jack Healy will leave East Fife following the expiry of his contract this summer.

Jack made 144 appearances and scored 12 goals in black and gold after being promoted to the first team in January 2022, having been part of the inaugural U20s squad back in 2019.

Having initially agreed terms on a new deal, Jack has since made the decision to move on this summer.

We thank Jack for his efforts during his time at Bayview and wish him all the best for the future.

It is with regret that we announce the immediate departure of our current hospitality caterers, RL Catering, due to a change in personal circumstances.

Rod, Louise, and their team have been an absolute pleasure to work with. They have truly transformed our hospitality offering with exceptional dishes that received incredible feedback — culminating in back-to-back sell-outs from February through May.

While we are disappointed to see them go, they leave with our heartfelt thanks and very best wishes. They will always be welcome back at the MGM Timber Bayview Stadium.

This change does, however, present an exciting opportunity. We are now inviting expressions of interest from new caterers to take over this vital role. Interested parties are asked to submit a tender by 15th June 2025. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to a final stage interview, which will include presenting a sample menu (with associated costs covered).

We are also proactively reaching out to potential caterers to ensure we're in the strongest possible position ahead of the new season.

For more information or to submit a tender, please contact Lee Gillies at:

Thank you — and as always, Mon the Fife!

Lee Gillies
Associate Director
East Fife FC

Following a period of reflection after their recent family bereavement, the management team are now in a position to provide a squad update as preparations begin for the 2025/26 campaign.

First and foremost, the club would like to thank all players moving on this summer for their contributions both on and off the pitch during their time at Bayview.

Departing Players

Stewart Murdoch

Club captain Stewart Murdoch departs having made 201 appearances in black and gold, scoring six goals during two spells with the club. Stewart first joined East Fife in 2010 and returned in 2019, going on to serve the club with the upmost professionalism both on and off the park.

Allan Fleming

Goalkeeper Allan Fleming leaves the club having featured 128 times, recording 30 clean sheets. Allan first signed in 2014 and returned in 2022, playing a key role in the team over the years.

Scott Shepherd

Scott Shepherd exits after making 130 appearances and netting 18 goals since his arrival in 2022. A hard-working forward, Scott gave his all in every outing and was a consistent performer throughout his time at the club.

Charlie Murray

Young defender Charlie Murray moves on after making two senior appearances, having been promoted from the Under 20s in 2023. Charlie spent last season on loan at Crossgate Primrose.

Kallum Higginbotham

Kallum joined in January 2025 and made 17 appearances during his time at Bayview. His experience and composure on the ball made him a strong asset during the second half of the season.

Loan Return

Liam McFarlane

Goalkeeper Liam McFarlane has returned to Heart of Midlothian following the end of his loan spell. Liam made 37 appearances and kept 13 clean sheets during a standout season that saw him named in the PFA League 2 Team of the Year. We thank Liam and Hearts for their support.

Looking Ahead

We can confirm that Andy Munro and Michael McKenna remain under contract for the 2025/26 season.

Discussions remain ongoing with all other members of the squad, and further updates will be provided in due course. These talks are now progressing rapidly, as our involvement in the play-offs — along with the recent board reorganisation following the Club AGM — has effectively shortened our close season by two weeks.

We once again extend our sincere thanks to those departing for their contributions and commitment to East Fife.

Finally, thank you, as always, to our supporters for your patience and continued backing during this period. Preparations for the new season are well underway, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Bayview soon.

“When I was first approached to become an Associate Director back in 2014, I never imagined that one day I would be appointed chairman of East Fife Football Club - yet here we are. I am truly honoured and privileged to take on this role, and I fully appreciate the responsibility it carries. I have agreed to serve as Chairman until the next AGM in November, at which point we will take the opportunity to reassess the overall structure and direction of the club.

“With both Jim Stevenson and John Donaldson taking a well-deserved break, it now falls to the current board of directors to lead the club forward. It is a significant challenge, but one we approach with both anticipation and a healthy dose of humility.

“There is undoubtably a feel-good factor around Bayview at the moment, and it’s something we must continue to grow. It’s been heartening to see so many families at recent matches, and increasing youth involvement remains a key priority — the children are the future of East Fife Football Club.

"The support from the ‘Ultras’ has also been exceptional, and we’re eager to see that energy continue to build in the coming season.

"We’ve also been greatly encouraged by the quick uptake of season tickets this year — it's a clear sign of the growing enthusiasm and belief in the direction we’re heading. I’ve already got mine – Seat D-E-8 – and I can’t wait to be in the stands with you all for the coming season. If you haven’t secured yours yet, I urge you to do so. Every season ticket purchased is a vital show of support that helps us plan, invest, and push the club forward.

"I’ve been genuinely humbled by the many kind messages I’ve received since the announcement, and I want to assure everyone that the board and I will do everything we can to serve this club with dedication and transparency. I’ve always believed in being open and approachable, and I hope we can introduce regular open forums where fans can share their views, raise concerns, and ask questions.

"The last few years have been clouded by uncertainty and speculation around takeover bids, which understandably caused some stagnation. Now that those distractions are behind us, we can focus on a bright future — one that’s black and gold.

‘Mon the Fife.”

Liam Anderson

Chairman, East Fife Football Club
