After 8 and a half seasons, Captain Kevin Smith will leave the club this summer. Kevin first signed on at Bayview in January 2014 on loan from Dumbarton before making the move permanently that summer. He was appointed Club Captain in 2015 and guided the side the to the League Two title that season.

Kevin finishes his East Fife career just outside the top 20 all-time appearances on 238. He scored his 50th goal for the club earlier this season to finish on that milestone.

Dubbed ‘King Kev’ by the East Fife support, Kevin was awarded a testimonial in recognition for his service to the club with the first of 5 event to mark the occasion scheduled to take place this month.

Kevin has been the consummate professional during his spell at the club and we wish him all the best for the future.

We can confirm that Aaron Dunsmore, Ross Davidson, Ross Dunlop, Danny Swanson, Sean Brown, Jamie Semple, Daniel Higgins and Ryan Blair will also leave the club when their contracts expire at the end of the month.

Aaron Dunsmore signed on at East Fife in the summer of 2017 and went on to make 158 appearances for the club. He scored 16 goals including the memorable winner against Raith Rovers in November 2018. Dunsy spent that second half of this season on loan at Stirling Albion and will make the move permanently this close season.

Ross Davidson joined in May 2018 from Albion Rovers and took his tally of East Fife appearances to 110 this season and chipping in with 5 goals over his 4 seasons at Bayview.

Ross Dunlop also joined in the summer of 2018 from Albion Rovers and has featured on 105 occasions, scoring twice, during his 4 years at the club.

Danny Swanson signed on at East Fife in July 2020, but his game time was badly affected by injury but did feature 28 times for the club during his 2-year stint.

Sean Brown joined initially on loan in March 2021 from East Stirlingshire before making the move permanent last summer. Sean has 24 East Fife appearances to his name and 1 goal before spending the second half of this season on loan at Lowland League Champions Bonnyrigg Rose.

Jamie Semple signed on last close season after leaving Motherwell and scored 4 goals in 31 appearances during his spell at Bayview.

Daniel Higgins made the move to Bayview in August 2021 from Cove Rangers and featured on 19 occasions during his season at East Fife.

Ryan Blair joined in January this year from East Kilbride, making his debut that same month before going on to make 17 appearances for East Fife.

Kyle Connell (Kilmarnock), Leo Watson (Heart of Midlothian), Darren Watson (Dundee United) and Finlay Pollock (Heart of Midlothian) all return to their parent club following their loan spells.

All players leave with our thanks for their efforts while at the club and our best wishes for the future.

Jude Smith, Scott Gallacher, Pat Slattery, Scott Mercer, Stewart Murdoch, Aaron Steele, Liam Newton, Connor McManus, Jack Healy, Brogan Walls, Ryan Wallace and Mikey Cunningham are all under contract for next season.
