SHAUN BYRNE SIGNS ON

All at Raith Rovers Football Club are delighted to confirm that Shaun Byrne has officially signed on a two-year deal, following last season’s loan.

Shaun joined us on loan in August 2023 from Dundee, going on to play 41 times and make a huge instant impression on the Rovers support.

Speaking exclusively to raithrovers.net, Shaun commented, “Raith gave me the opportunity to get back loving football again. It’s been an absolute pleasure sharing a changing room with the boys and doing so well as a team last season. I’ve been happier on and off the pitch since joining as I’ve felt supported from staff, all the boys and the fans from day one. I really feel at home. I’m absolutely buzzing to see what the season brings and can’t wait to get going again.“

Ian Murray also said, “I’m really happy we have managed to re-sign Shaun. He did so well for us on loan last season, bringing calmness on the ball and also a good influence in changing room. We have had to fend off a lot of interest to keep him. I’ve really enjoyed working with Shaun and look forward to it again.“

A local lad born in Kirkcaldy in 1993, he started his football career as a youth player at Celtic, before moving to the youth system of Dunfermline Athletic in 2008.

He made his competitive debut for our Fife rivals in 2012, and his first start for The Pars came in a New Years Fife Derby against The Rovers at East End Park in January 2013.

In total, Shaun played over 100 games for Dunfermline, scoring 11 goals.

After leaving East End Park, Shaun joined Livingston for a three-season spell as The Lions won successive promotions to regain their place in the Premiership.

In 2019, he joined Dundee and spent four years there, winning promotion to the top flight again during his time.

We are thrilled to have Shaun commit his future to Raith Rovers.
