We’re pleased to announce that Anton Dowds yesterday put pen to paper on an improved deal to keep him at Bayview until the summer of 2020.
Anton joined the club in the summer from Heriot Watt University where he picked up end of season awards as Player and Coaches' Player of the Year as well as Top Goal Scorer. He has featured on 7 occasions so far this season scoring 3 goals including a stunning strike against Falkirk last month.
Speaking to EFtv after yesterday game, Anton said: -
“Coming into pre-season here I wanted to test myself at a higher level and I’ve loved every minute of it. The Gaffer & Tony have been brilliant with me along with the boys in the backroom staff and they boys in the changing room are brilliant as well. I’m really loving my football at the minute & I just want it to continue”

It’s the first league game of the new season tomorrow as East Fife welcome Dumbarton to the Locality Hub Bayview Stadium. The Methil men can be reasonably satisfied with their performances in the Betfred League Cup, although will feel that the points total accumulated across the four games did not accurately reflect their efforts on the park.
Manager Darren Young added to his squad during the week with the acquisition of young striker Rory Currie in a loan deal with Heart of Midlothian until January next year.
Visitors Dumbarton had a similarly challenging Betfred group, winning against Queen’s Park, drawing with Spartans and losing out to Premiership outfits Kilmarnock and St Mirren. Sons boss Steve Aitken will be hoping for a quick return to the Championship after losing out by the narrowest of margins to Alloa Athletic after extra-time in the play-offs final in May. There are several ex-Dumbarton men in the East Fife ranks, including Mark Docherty, Scott Linton, Scott Agnew and Kevin Smith, while new Sons of the Rock signing Bobby Barr turned out for the Fifers in 2012-13.
The last meeting of the sides was two years ago when East Fife emerged 2-0 winners in the Betfred Cup at the then named Cheaper Insurance Direct Stadium. Kevin Smith and Paul McManus were the goalscorers in an impressive performance in sweltering conditions.
Mark Docherty, Scott Linton and Craig McDowall look set to miss out once again through injury for the Fifers, with new signing Rory Currie added to the squad that went down narrowly to Falkirk last Saturday.
Supporters of both clubs are reminded that they are welcome to enjoy refreshments at the stadium bars before and after the game.
