We’re delighted to announce that we have agreed terms with striker Scott Shepherd to join the club on a 1-year deal.

25-year-old Scott started his career at Falkirk, making his debut as a 17-year-old in August 2013 when he came off the bench to score the winner for the Bairns in a 2-1 Challenge Cup win against Ayr United at Somerset Park. Scott made 64 appearances for Falkirk over 5 seasons at the club. His time at Falkirk also included loan spells at Stirling Albion, Brechin City and Edinburgh City before making the move permanently to the Edinburgh side for the start of the 2018/19 season. Scott scored 23 goals in 98 appearances for The Citizens before signing for Forfar Athletic where he’s spent the past two seasons.

Manager Stevie Crawford commented: “I’m delighted to bring Scotty to the Club. I first worked with him when he was 15 at Falkirk and have kept an eye on his progress since then. He’s at a good age, 25 (26 at the end of this month) with the best years ahead of him. He’s quick, and already has good experience in both league 1 & 2 which will help us with the challenges we will face this season.”

Scott added: “I worked with Stevie Crawford at Falkirk when I became full-time and have kept in touch with him over the years. I know what a great coach he is, and I think he will bring out the best in me. I am delighted to come on board at East Fife and can’t wait to get started.”

Scott will join up with the squad when they return for pre-season in June.
