We’ll have your Hyde for this say Dunfermline FC after Dark Blues draw
ByNews reporter
Striker Jake Hyde has joined the side he scored against a week ago after moving from Lochee United to Dunfermline.
The 20-year-old played for Dundee as a trialist last Tuesday after signing with Lochee United until the end of the season.
The local junior side, who previously helped out the Dark Blues by lending them Craig Robertson on trial, have now signed Hyde’s release papers without the former Barnet man turning out at Thomson Park.
Hyde had already played his last game for Dundee because of the March 31 deadline for using trialists.
However, he had attracted the attention of Pars boss Jim McIntyre after scoring the equaliser for the Dark Blues against Dunfermline last Tuesday.
The striker then capped that performance by netting twice against Cowdenbeath at the weekend.
With his contract at Lochee United now terminated, Hyde was only able to sign on at East End Park as an unpaid amateur because the deal was completed outwith the transfer window.
He was in the squad that faced Ross County in Dingwall last night, coming off the bench with 13 minutes to play in the Pars’ 1-0 victory.
