Kerr Young and Pars part company

Defender opts to leave East End Park

Dunfermline and their home grown centre back Kerr Young have parted company to allow the 21 year old to secure regular first team football.

Young who signed a new contract in the summer was a regular in the Pars defence last season however he recently approached manager Jim Jefferies, to discuss his future after not establishing himself as a first pick in pre-season.

Jefferies told Kerr that there was no guarantee of a first team position and the youngster has opted to leave with Jefferies saying: “Kerr is at an age where he should be playing every week and he may not get that here. He has been with the club for a long time and we have agreed to cancel his contract to allow him to look elsewhere.”

“Everyone at Dunfermline wish him well in the rest of his career.”
