We’re delighted to announce the signing of forward Ryan Schiavone on a 2-year-deal.

19-year-old Ryan came through the ranks at Heart of Midlothian before joining Dumbarton on loan for the first half last season, making 17 appearances for the Sons before being recalled in January.

Manager Stevie Crawford: “Ryan has a good football rounding behind him having been in the Hearts Academy since he was 12. He’s been in full time the last 3 years at Hearts and has a loan spall at Dumbarton for the first part of last season. He has a good work ethic and attitude and wants an opportunity to improve and get better.”

“We also feel his still has a lot of development in him and his potential excites us. He fits into the way we want to play and he’s the type of player we want to bring into the club. There was also interest from other clubs, but he felt East Fife”.

Welcome to Bayview Ryan!
