The move comes just days after he announced on social media he was leaving the Kirkcaldy club.

Smith, a GB international, left Flyers after very limited ice time this season – he said he was “gutted” to leave his home town team.

Now, the 20-year old has gone west to join Clan.

Zack Fitzgerald, head coach, said he was delighted to add another up and coming home grown talent to his line-up.

He commented: “Chad is another young Scottish player with great potential

“We are in a position to give him an opportunity, he is eager and has a great head on his shoulders.”

The move west will almost certainly spark a huge reaction among Flyers fans who were dismayed to see the departure of a local player from the roster.
