We’re delighted to confirm that Kyle Bell has signed a contract extension, keeping him at Bayview until the Summer of 2020.
19-year-old Kyle joined the club in the summer from Raith Rovers and has featured on 12 occasions so far this season after making his debut in the Betfred Cup against St. Johnstone in July.
Speaking to EFTV following yesterday’s game v Stenhousemuir, Manager Daren Young said:
“From the start of the season, young Kyle has done very well. We’ve had a couple of reserve games and friendly games where he comes on and does well, he scores, he has great energy, he’s got an eye for goal. He does the ugly side of the game as well, today he had 3/4 tackles in a row and it’s great to have that desire, that attitude and he’ll learn off the older heads in the team”.
EFTV caught up with Kyle earlier in the season:
“I’m absolutely loving it. It’s a great team to be in, it’s a great changing room as well. The training it excellent, we’re at the Oriam which has good facilities and training has been really high quality”
