East Fife can today announce that Josh McConville has joined Scottish Junior FA East Region club Lochee United on loan until January.

Josh joined the Under 20s set up last summer, making his first-team debut as a 16-year-old against Stirling Albion in the Challenge Cup in August 2019 before being promoted to the first team squad for this season.

Darren Young: “We have a lot of competition for places in the middle of the park this season so we felt it would be better for Josh’s development to go out on loan for a few months and be playing regular first-team football. It will be a good experience for him and I’m sure he’ll come back having learned a lot and be pushing for a place in the team”.

All the best Josh!
