Jefferies predicts Andy Stirling will be ‘great addition’ for Pars

Andrew Stirling.

Dunfermline have made their third signing of the week Stranraer midfielder Andy Stirling.

Stirling has joined Gregor Buchanan and Michael Moffat in making the switch to East End Park.

Pars boss Jim Jefferies was impressed with the 24-year-old when he came up against his team in League One last season.

Stirling can play on both flanks and regularly chipped in with goals for the Stair Park side.

He started off his career with St Mirren, before moving on to Stenhousemuir and East Stirlingshire.

After signing Michael Moffat from Ayr United and Gregor Buchanan from Airdrie, Jefferies has two spots left to fill in his squad.

Jefferies said: “Andy had a few offers and Stranraer were desperate to keep him, but full-time football appealed to him and he has agreed to come to us.

“He’s a player that has always done well against us and we’re delighted to get him.

“We have not really had a natural wide player since Joe Cardle left, but Andy is an out-and-out winger who can play on both sides and will be a great addition to the squad.”

Jefferies is also looking for another frontman, and Annan Athletic’s Kenny MacKay is his first choice for that position, as revealed in Courier Sport.

However, Morton’s new boss Jim Duffy is trying to take the 23-year-old back to Cappielow for a second time.

MacKay joined the Galabank side last summer from Greenock Juniors.

Talks over a move to Dunfermline have taken place, but Duffy is hoping to entice Mackay back to the club where he played as a youth.

Geographically, a Morton move could be appealing, as MacKay lives in Dunoon and takes a ferry to nearby Gourock for training and games with Annan, who are keen to keep hold of the striker.

Galabank manager Jim Chapman said: “We have made Kenny an offer to remain here however, we recognise that the opportunity to move to full-time football is a great attraction.

“Both Dunfermline and Morton have made inquiries over Kenny and the next move is up to the player.”

Midfielder Scott Mercer yesterday joined fellow youngster Kerr Young in penning a new one-year deal, while Jonathan Page has also agreed to stay at East End Park.

The 24-year-old joined Dunfermline in January on a short-term deal following spells with Motherwell, Hamilton and, most recently, Morton, and featured 14 times as the Pars narrowly failed in their bid to bounce back up to the Championship.

However, after mulling over the club’s new offer of a 12-month extension, the Englishman has opted to stay and fight for promotion again.

Jefferies added: “Jonathan went away to think about things but has been in touch to say he wants to stay.

“He was looking for a two-year deal, but we’ve told him we’ll be able to give him a second year if we get promoted.”
