​East Fife extend another four players’ contracts ahead of next football season

​Defenders Pat Slattery, Reis Peggie, Mamadou Bah and David Wilson have all agreed new one-year deals as manager Dick Campbell’s side bid to improve on their eighth-placed finish in Scottish football’s third tier last time round.

Slattery, 33, has been at the Methil club since July 2015, making more than 300 appearances over 11 seasons.

Leven-born Peggie, 27, arrived at Bayview Stadium in July 2024 from Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic and has played 89 games since, scoring five goals.

Former Gambian under-20 international Bah, now 22, has played in 47 matches for the Fifers since first signing up in February 2025.

Wilson, 26, joined a year later from Peterhead, making seven appearances in black and gold last season.

Dunfermline-born Campbell, 72, is glad to see all four extend their stays at Bayview, saying: “We’re delighted to get Pat signed up again.

“His attitude is first class and he sets a great example every day in training.

“The thing with Pat is that whenever he’s called upon, you know exactly what you’re going to get from him.

“He can always be relied upon to put in a performance and give absolutely everything for the team.

“His experience around the club is invaluable and we're really pleased he’ll be staying with us for another season.

“We’re pleased to have Reis signed up again for next season too.

“He’s done very well since coming to the club and has been a consistent performer for us.

“He’s a player with great energy and quality and we’re looking forward to seeing him continue his partnership with Liam Newton down the left-hand side. They work well together and give us real strength in that area of the pitch.

“We’re delighted he’ll be staying with us, and we’re also delighted to have Bah signed up again.

“He’s a player who continues to improve all the time. When he first came to us, he was very raw, but I could see there was a player there.

“As he’s gained experience, we’re starting to see more and more of the qualities that made us want to bring him to the club in the first place.

“He’s worked hard, he’s eager to learn and we’re looking forward to seeing his development continue over the next season.

“David bolstered our defensive options when he came in during February and we’re delighted to have him back for next season.

“He’s a player who can cover both right-back and centre-half, which is a good asset to have in the squad.

“He fitted in really well with the group and showed exactly the kind of attitude and commitment we’re looking for. We’re looking forward to seeing what he can bring over a full season with us.”

East Fife’s next competitive fixture is away to Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the Premier Sports Cup on Saturday, July 11, with kick-off at 3pm.
