We are delighted to announce that Jack Healy has penned his first professional contract with the club.
Jack joined the Under 20s set up in the summer of 2019 and mad his first team debut in as a substitute against Dumbarton in November that year. With the 2020/21 season abandoned due to the covid pandemic, Jack joined St. Andrew’s United on loan for the first half of that season before again joining up with the first team towards the end of the season and making a couple of more appearances.
Jack joined Lowland League side East Stirlingshire on loan for the first half of this season, earning great reviews from both the Shire’s management team and supporters before being recalled in January.
Stevie Crawford: “We are delighted that Jack has agreed to sign until the summer of 2023. Since coming back to the club, I’ve managed to take in a number of games involving our younger players and Jack has caught my attention with his energy.
“We called him back from a successful loan spell at East Stirling so I would like to thank them for the part they played in Jack’s development, along with all of the youth coachers at East Fife.
“Jack being a local boy also excites us as he wants the club to do well but he has earned this contract on merit. Now the hard work begins as we try to develop Jack’s game further and see if he can force his way into the starting line-up.”
Congratulations Jack!
