Ugwu scored five goals in 21 appearances with Duku hitting 14 in 33 games as both spent just one year in Kirkcaldy.

Midfielder Dan Armstrong had been offered an extension to his contract but has decided to move on from the club he joined in November 2018, shortly after McGlynn and his assistant Paul Smith had returned to Stark’s Park.

In total he had made 69 appearances and scored 16 goals.

Also bringing an end to their time at Rovers are defender Fernandy Mendy and striker Jack Smith.

Defender Frankie Musonda, who impressed during his 26 appearances his maiden season in Kirkcaldy despite a stop-start campaign due to injury, has signed a contract extension, whilst out of contract midfielders Brad Spencer and Regan H endry are mulling over new deals which have been offered.
