The transfer pattern is practical rather than headline-grabbing: free transfers from Rangers to Clyde and Clyde to Edinburgh City, an undisclosed move to Dunfermline Athletic in January 2025, then a loan to East Kilbride before returning to Dunfermline Athletic in June 2026. It reads like a career shaped by opportunity, minutes and reassessment rather than fee-driven progression.
