 New signing

Dunfermline have signed Kian Corbally from Ballymena United for an undisclosed fee.

The 22-year-old has penned a two-year contract, with an option available to extend the deal beyond that.

He has become the Pars’ first new recruit of the summer after manager Neil Lennon predicted a ‘major rebuild’.

The Fifers say they had ‘strong competition’ for Corbally’s signature.

The midfielder will fly out with the rest of the East End Park squad on Friday morning for the club’s pre-season training camp in Bulgaria.

Certainly not a run of the mill signing, look forward to seeing what he can do in the black and white.
I imagine Lennon takes a fair bit of interest in the Northern Ireland premiership.

Welcome back to the clubs social media man/woman you have been missed.

Attacking midfielder, you`d imagine the manager will know very well the market he`s dealing in, good luck to the lad.

Supposedly one of the standout midfielders in Irish league last season. Teams across Scotland and England were after him but he wanted to come to us.

Should be an upgrade on the midfielders who have left so it’s a good start to business.

Welcome to East End Kian.

Not the sort of signing that screams we are going for the league title this year . Will get the old “give the boy a chance” and “get grip”etc etc . But after waiting all this time for a signing this is very under whelming . Striker and GK is top on the list and first signing is midfield 🙄🫣.

A young guy who was a stand out last season and was being looked at by Scottish Premiership sides and teams in League One down south, and this is the response?

Your way off the mark here. Young ambitious player who had offers from a higher level who wanted to come to EEP. On paper looks a great signing.

Signings dont come in based on what order they are needed, what a weird way to look at this. From what I can see of him on Youtube, he looks exactly the sort of player we need. Great start to our recruitment.

Sounds like a good young prospect. Hopefully he will do well here.

I have had a few jars while watching the football after work, and when I seen his name I thought it said Kalidou Koulibaly
