Fits the profile we’ve been crying out for in terms of physical, scores a decent amount, experienced at this level. Can also be a bit of a pr*ck on the pitch. Not my first choice but has the potential to be a good signing.

From COWS -
Dunfermline Athletic are delighted to announce the signing of striker Zak Rudden from Livingston on a 2 year deal for an undisclosed fee.
The 25-year-old Edinburgh-born forward brings a wealth of experience across Scottish football, having previously played for clubs including Rangers, Dundee, Partick Thistle and Queen’s Park. The striker’s footballing journey has seen him make a total of 238 professional appearances, scoring 66 goals.
Zak began his professional career in the Rangers youth system before breaking through to train with the first team in 2018. His development continued with successful loan spells, including a memorable season at Falkirk in 2018-19 where he netted 12 goals, and an 18 game stint south of the border with Plymouth Argyle in English League Two.
His time at Partick Thistle saw him find the net 18 times in nearly 50 appearances. At Dundee, he continued to prove his worth with 56 appearances and important goals, including match-winners and equalisers that demonstrated his ability to deliver when it matters most.in 2022-23 season he played 12 games at St Johnstone where he was a teammate of Chris Kane.
Internationally, Zak has represented Scotland at four different youth levels through to the under-21s.
Welcome to the Pars Zak!

Undisclosed fee? Surely we haven’t paid very much for him given livi got him for free?
At least it’s another experienced option who has scored goals previously at this level and had a bit about him in terms of workrate and physicality so we have options maybe they still have another striker to come in who’s a bit more higher profile?

Men’s first-team manager David Martindale said: “In all honesty, it came as a bit of a surprise and neither myself or Zak had any knowledge of Dunfermline’s interest until I had a phone call from them.
“I spoke with Zak and we had a very good conversation face-to-face and I explained this wasn’t part of our plans, but that I would understand if he wanted to be a regular number 9 week-in week-out as his playing time has been limited so far this season.
“To be fair to Zak, he wasn’t looking to leave but when we both talked it over, it was obvious that this would be a very good move for him from a footballing point of view, and we would receive a nominal transfer fee which always helps in any move. It felt like a good deal for all parties.
“Zak leaves with nothing but our best wishes and in the short period I’ve worked with him, I can honestly say I enjoyed my time coaching him and having him here.
“Like I say, it really came out of the blue but I feel we are well covered at the top end of the park and I was happy to shake Zak’s hand and wish him all the best.”
Good luck, Zak!

Rudden scored 9 goals in the championship last season on a team which was just as bad as us, he was their Kane, that’s 3 times as many as the striker he’s replacing in our team.
Rudden has 48 league goals in 188 games, compared to who was playing last season he will be far more effective and we should score more goals as a result, he’ll to used to working with very little as queens were hardly pleasing on the eye.
It’s a decent move, also having him suggests we are no longer desperate for a striker which might bring some players who have previously been asking for too much back to the table.

Decent signing for Championship. Big lad well over 6ft so should win far more headers than the new Fleetwood striker ever did and will win more than Kane who tends to look for fouls more often than not.
Ruddens success at Pars will come down to the quality of service that we can provide…..or not. Get good crosses in and he will score goals. Think Graham Bain, not the most gifted footballer but probably the last “ old fashioned” CF we had.
You also have to factor in that if he and Kane are playing together under the lights then the combined glare off their heads will surely be an advantage…….
What an opportunity we missed in 2014.

Im guessing what’s happened is we have chased certain players and not got the deals done, meaning we’ve had to look to more options closer to home (geographically and experience wise).
Its not a bad signing, its not a terrific signing, but I think he will add goals. If him and Kane can both hit double figures this season, its a win.
The other good thing is he has had a pre season and some game time already this year, so wont be too far off the pace.
Welcome Zak.

I think Rudden is a clever signing. He scored roughly a goal every 3 games with a poor Queen’s Park and had a decent record at Falkirk and Partick. A proven goalscorer is what we were after. We were never going to sign Cummings, Palmer etc!

I`ve seen enough that Kearney and Fraser will put in really decent crosses from the wide areas, just need a striker to attack the ball (and Lennon to start Kearney), which we haven`t had without Kane.
He`s experienced and has a good goal return for the level, I`m pleased we`re still looking for another striker but bringing in a more reliable option at this level than Young was a priority.

I`m convinced that if the rest of the team create the chances, you and Kane will put a decent number of them away.

Meaningless stat even if it is true. Most headers Mcann won went to nobody.
How many headers did Mcann have on target and how many did he score ? One at Kelty I think. Tbf the service he got was poor but so was his timing of the jump mostly.

There’s plenty of examples of players failing at one club and looking a different player elsewhere so I’m in agreement let’s judge him on what he does for Dunfermline.

Just to clarify, I was the first person to post about the Bulgarian guy on here, the one supposedly costing a “six-figure fee.” I’ve no idea what’s happened with that rumour, but the info came from a journalist who appeared on the BBC Scottish Football podcast a day or two after Wanyama signed. If anyone really wants to check, you can listen back to it.
As for the rest of the rumours you mentioned, I’ve got no clue.
Anyway, welcome to the club, Zack Rudden. If I’m being honest, I’m neither buzzing nor gutted about the signing, but I trust the job Lennon’s doing. Hopefully, he’s another piece of the puzzle that helps us kick on.

When did Borg become involved in Sheffield United? They signed a couple of players from the Bulgarian league, including a young striker, is it possible he was initially earmarked for here? It all seems to be going a bit pear shaped for them currently though, sitting at the bottom on nil points. They are probably wishing they had stuck with Wilder.

DAFC Chris, I can think of about 50 names without even trying, that I’m sure will be remembered as worse signings.
I actually think this might be a good move for us. Rudden might do a decent job for us in a position we have sorely needed to improve for a while. If he can get a double figure goal tally this season I’ll be happy with that.
At 25 perhaps Ruddens best years are still ahead of him. I hope so.

After taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture, it’s clear we were crying out for a proven Championship striker, someone with experience and a track record of finding the net. Rudden fits that bill perfectly. He’s shown he can deliver at this level, so naturally most fans will back him and give him the chance to make an impact.
Honestly, I think he’s a clear upgrade on Brad Holmes and Yeboah. The more I’ve thought about it today, the more I believe a partnership with Kane could be a real handful for defenders. There’s real potential there. I just hope Lennon throws him straight in on Saturday against Ross County.

Some folk on here just can`t help themselves. There`s not very many, but we have a few real nuggets, denouncing new players and spewing out over the top criticism at every turn. I blame the attention seeking, "hot take" culture we have across social media. It`s not how supporters should behave in my opinion.
I agree with this. I`m tired of seeing the same drivel from the same suspects on X and Facebook in particular.

It must be great to sign for this club the read a thread on it. Absolutely shocking opinions and comments from so called fans of the club. If he starts scoring goals it will be the same people bigging him up. For us and social media are the downfall of society. It gives people so called freedom of speech and badmouth people they don’t even know.
I hope Zak is a massive success here and everyone that has badmouthed this signing thinks twice about being a supporter of the club and the players.

I think Rudden is a decent enough player, but I think he is the sort of player who needs intelligent and creative players around him. Hopefully, players like Caceres and KRH (if he can find some form) will help him thrive.

Some players just play their game, plug away, and are consistent without creating a fuss. At 25 years old. he has his best football to come. He has dropped down a division because he wants to play regularly. That tells me he has the right attitude. Sometimes, you have to take a step back to take a step forward.
Sometimes its not about the best players but players who can play well with each other to become more than the sum of their parts.

I think Rudden will be alright. I’m sure a few years ago fans were disappointed when we missed out on him under McPake (think he went to Raith).
I think he’ll offer something different that we’ve not had since Todorov. An out-and-out 6ft+ striker to get on the end of crosses into the box.
With Kearney, Caceres, Fraser, KRH we’ll hopefully get him some service.

I think there are a few different angles to this signing:
1 - Disappointment will firstly stem from Pars fans expecting a bigger name and/or a more proven goalscorer and see the signing as a lack of ambition given we clearly did not want him when he was available upon the expiry of his contract.
2 - The `data-led` approach doesn`t really support this signing but it may be one that Lennon veto`d in order to get him in. I had a look at his stats vs McCann last season here https://x.com/RossHScouting - we are essentially looking at him just to score goals which ultimately is what strikers do, but offers a very average all round game outside of this.
3 - `One of our worst signings ever` before he`s kicked a ball is crazy. I`m not exactly enthusiastic about it as I think there were better options out there but he scored 2 goals less than the hero and saviour Chris Kane last season and has a pretty spotless injury record. Got to give him a chance at least.

Not sure if this has been mentioned anywhere yet and I`m just slow to find out but I understand from a Livingston fan that we paid £110k for Rudden. Not sure how accurate or not that is.
Like others I`m not overly excited by the signing but absolutely wishing him the best and hope he does a fantastic job for us. I think he could be the one that surprises us the most!
Big name signings are not always the best anyway... Wanyama prime example of that. So much hype very little impact.
We can try and fling lots of money at bigger names but ultimately we still have to convince them to come to the championship.
Good luck Zac!

That`s not clear at all. He signed for a team in the Premier League with a really good manager.
Also, re the data, reports from those who have watched Rudden suggest that he works pretty hard out of possession and doesn`t give the defenders much peace. It could be Lennon & Co want us to win the ball back more quickly and further up the park - and they may have data to suggest Rudden will enhance our chances of doing that.

We paid a nominal fee for him (by Martindale`s comment), so probably something in the very low 5 figures, perhaps even 4 figures to cover a signing on fee when he signed on at Livingston. As much as anything they`ll have wanted to free up a wage to strengthen elsewhere presumably

I think its too simplistic to say what he did last year will continue this year. There are far too many variables. I think that you have to give the guy a chance to prove himself. The big pluses in terms of his signing are
1. He is prepared to sign for us
2. He wants to play
3. He stepped down a league to play more regularly
4. He can score goals
5. He is planning ahead based on his conversation with NL
6. Dropping down a league to play under NL is a smart move in my view. It`s not about the money. He is probably thinking I can learn from a manager who has managed at the highest level in Scottish football.
I personally would prejudge him. I would like to give him the opportunity to prove himself. After all, 10 goals in a season might win you 10 games

My initial reaction to the signing was underwhelming. He`s never really impressed me as an opposition player, and he was available for free not too long ago.
However, when you compare him to our current attacking options, he`s clearly better than Young at this level (so far) so will be a definite upgrade when Kane isn`t available.
Can`t say it`s an exciting signing, but also not disappointing. If he gets 8-10 goals this season then he`s better than anyone apart from Kane for the last few years.

Folk seem to put a lot of faith in historical data as predictors of what`s likely to happen in the future. I think goalscoring stats can show a general trend but there is plenty evidence of certain players exceeding previous performances when they arrive at a club, maybe because they strike a good relationship with particular players, the style of play suits them or they get individual coaching to improve their game. It can work in the opposite direction too, of course.
I think you`re on shakier ground trying to extrapolate appearances based on past records. Avoiding or suffering injuries in football can be down to good or bad luck and who knows if that luck will continue. I remember when Andy Smith joined us from Airdrie in the 1990s. His first game was a pre-season friendly at EEP against Bolton Wanderers. He broke a leg and was out of action until November. Thankfully he went on to have a successful career with the Pars, scoring many vital goals.

"I’ve no idea what’s happened with that rumour, but the info came from a journalist who appeared on the BBC Scottish Football podcast a day or two after Wanyama signed. If anyone really wants to check, you can listen back to it."
As far as I remember it, the "journalist" was actually Marvin Bartley, who was guest on one of the BBC Scotland podcasts. Now it may well be that we`ve tried to bring in Rupenov (who seems to have been the one people were assuming we were bringing in) but he couldn`t get a work permit. Or maybe we weren`t ever in for him.
The likes of Palmer, Boyle, Forrest, even Kirk weren`t ever realistic options. Would have been good to get someone in with more experience but teams in the Championship have been struggling to bring in those strikers. St Johnstone brought in Gullan, who had we signed people would have had a similar reaction to Rudden. Ross County brought in Clark, who I think would have been maybe a better option but he may well have lost a bit of his pace and movement now he`s a bit older. Raith haven`t brought a striker in, Brophy went to Morton but didn`t get a game at Falkirk last season and seemed to have went right off the boil at Ross County.

^^^ Well said Angus.
FEB was itching for games under Jeffries and you could see his desire and a season later was scoring for fun.
Moffatt was a similar story, top goal scorer in the league for Ayr and yet struggled when he moved to us. I`m sure other Pars fans will correct me but didn`t he miss 5 penalties in a single match?

We have to remember he was playing for a premier league club this season as he was signed by the same guy who was apparently raving about McCann so make of that what you will. Still he’s defo an upgrade on young in current form and what we had last year.
Wonder if this would be seen a better signing if for example he was still at Queen’s Park and playing? Ie weakening another championship club while strengthening us?
Looking forward to first real look at him today, hasn’t been a stand out in previous games I’ve watched but has a knack of scoring goals that we miss when Kane is out.

Kearney looked good for 40 minutes, imagine he’ll be better against certain teams as today we were never really going to get in behind a county team who sat so deep.
Jefferson is exactly what we have been missing, someone who is always on the move and intelligent movement too, when he went off it was too easy for them.

Maybe I’m unfairly comparing him with Kane as a fellow baldy.
He seemed too static and when he did run, it wasn’t into the right areas.
I’ll take it if he gets 8-10 goals this season and his finish was really good today plus being his debut so I’ll most definitely give him a chance to prove his worth but overall to me a very average performance.

Great goal but not impressed by anything else.
Kind of sums up what other fans have said about him.
If he scores a goal like that every few games then I`m quite happy with it.

I thought he did well and was more effective than Kane when he came on. He’s not going to be running around like a man possessed, that’s Cáceres’ role, and I thought he was brilliant yesterday.
If we’re talking about players who had poor games, then Munn and Bene should be mentioned. Both were woeful with their distribution, with Bene on more than one occasion just booting it when there was a simple pass available. Gilmour went mental at him a few times for it.
c'mon the pars

Though Rudden did well, he’s not amazing in the air so isn’t going to win a barrow load of headers again a big county defence and as county sat deep the balls into the box were not the type to really attack as were more floated in.
There was a few times in the first half where Kearney and cooper could have slipped him in on the back of a good run but they either chose another option or didn’t execute the through ball well enough. Hopefully in time the understanding will develop.
He’ll prove a good option and at the moment it takes the pressure off both Kane and young, with that finish you can see why he scores a fair amount of goals, he has that instinct in the box.
Yeah munns kicking wasn’t great and not clear if he could have done more with the first goal, surface was slippy by then. If we’re going to criticise bene then we have to be prepared to do the same for Jon Tod who struggled.
After thinking we’ll struggle to pick up much on the road this season I think we’ll actually do much better now, with Jefferson we have real pace in the team so might be better against teams who don’t sit in.

Doubling down on it. FFS
Rudden`s finish was top drawer. He`s not a world beater but a goal threat. Something we`ve been seriously lacking.

He did exactly as a lot of the comments say-a good Championship forward who can chip in with a few goals.
He had a good Championship game, and he scored a goal and made a menace of himself -for me, perfect!

He will be just fine in the box and that’s where most goals are scored. Whip the balls in.
