Rovers manager Ian Murray was delighted to secure Callum’s services again and work with the player, saying:
“I’m really happy Callum has decided to sign for Raith Rovers. He’s a player I know well, and I’ve watched him improve every season. I look forward to working with him again at Raith Rovers”.
A native of Cowdenbeath, Callum started his football journey with The Blue Brazil as a young teenager before moving to Dunfermline Athletics’ under 15s. He then moved on to FEFA (Fife Elite Football Academy) before returning to the Pars to sign for the Development Squad on a professional contract.
