We’re delighted to announce that Mikey Cunningham has penned a contract extension until the summer of 2023.
Mikey joined the club in the summer from Dundee, but an ankle injury unfortunately ruled him out for much of the season. He made his comeback last Friday night, scoring twice as the Under 20s side defeated University of Stirling 4-2 at Bayview.
Mikey started his footballing journey with the East Fife Junior Supporters Club as a 6-year-old, excelling in a side 2-years above his age group, before moving on to Celtic at the age of 10 and then making the move to Dens Park in 2018.
