Kyle Turner is Back

Raith Rovers is delighted to announce that midfielder Kyle Turner has agreed to sign for the club on a 2-year deal.

Kyle joins us following two seasons with Partick Thistle, having previously featured for the Rovers during the second half of the 2023/24 campaign. A creative midfielder, Kyle will bring flair, energy and technical quality to the squad.

After penning his deal, Kyle said:

“I’m delighted to be back at the club and can’t wait for my next spell here.

“Speaking to the manager and hearing what he’s been building, along with the players he’s brought in so far, is really exciting. It’s a place I want to be.

“My first spell was great, getting to the play-off final – although I ended up cup-tied, but that happens! The run we had, pushing Dundee United and getting so far in the play-offs before just falling short. Now I want to go one better.

“I’m really looking forward to it. The new pitch looks great and suits the way we’ll want to play. Hopefully we’ll see the fans out in their numbers again like the first time I was here. They were great and I can’t wait to see them again!”

Having come through the youth ranks at St Mirren and Partick Thistle, Kyle moved to Stranraer in 2015, where he quickly established himself as one of League One’s standout performers.

After making more than 125 appearances across four seasons with the Stair Park side, Kyle joined Dunfermline Athletic in 2019, spending two years at East End Park.

Kyle returned to Partick Thistle in 2021 and enjoyed a successful spell at Firhill, helping the Jags reach the Scottish Premiership play-off final.

He would depart Thistle in 2023 to join Premiership side, Ross County. In January 2024, Kyle signed for Ian Murray’s title-chasing Rovers on loan, playing an important role as the club secured a second-place finish in the Championship. He also featured in both legs of the play-off semi-final victory over Partick Thistle.

Kyle returned to Firhill for the 2024/25 season and remained with the Jags for the following two campaigns.

Now 28, Kyle returns to Stark’s Park on a permanent basis ahead of the 2026/27 season.

Welcome back to the Rovers, Kyle.
