Smith leaves Raith post

Paul Smith has stepped down from his post as assistant manager at Raith Rovers due to work commitments.

Paul Smith has stepped down from his post as assistant manager at Raith Rovers due to work commitments.

The former Berwick boss had been No 2 to Grant Murray but his last match in the dug-out was Saturday’s 3-1 win over Cowdenbeath at Central Park.

He told the club website: “The move to being a completely full-time operation is undoubtedly the correct path for this club. However, it has meant that, in my part-time role, some weeks I can go from Saturday to Saturday without seeing the first-team players.

“My personal view is that I cannot therefore make as full a contribution to the team as I would like to. It has been a very difficult decision but I know that it’s the right one for the football club and the right one for myself.”

Academy Director Hugh McCann has also decided to resign rather than transfer to a role within the new Fife Elite Regional Academy.
