Peter Grant has made his first move as Dunfermline boss – securing the services of talented wing-back Josh Edwards on a new two-year deal.
The East End Park side moved quickly to tie-up Edwards, 21, until 2023 after he earned the club’s Young Player of the Year award after a string of top displays last term.
Edwards, who joined Pars from Airdrieonians in 2019, played every single minute of the 34 games he started last term and was lauded for his skilful tricks on the left flank.
It’s the first move made by Grant, who was unveiled as Dunfermline’s new manager on Friday.

Gabby McGill, Cammy Gill, Lucas Berry, Ben Swinton and Scott Cusick have all left Dunfermline after their contracts expired.
Loan stars Fraser Murray, Scott Banks, Ewan Henderson, Kerr McInroy and Lewis Mayo have all returned to their parent clubs.
