It has today been confirmed that Athletic midfielder Gary Mason has agreed to join St Mirren on a free transfer. The out of contract midfielder turned down the offer of a new three year deal at East End Park to sign on with Gus McPherson's side.
Gary was signed for Dunfermline by Jimmy Calderwood in December 2000 from Manchester City and worked his way into the team as the Pars finished 9th in the first season back in the SPL.
From then on, Gary became a mainstay in the team, with his combative performances in central midfield winning the acclaim of the four managers he played under as well as the supporters.
Gary scored 11 goals during his 7 years at East End, the most important of which was the one at Tannadice in 2005 to complete the Pars' Houdini escape act from relegation. His final appearance for the club was the 2-1 defeat in Inverness which saw the Fifers relegated, having been suspended for the Scottish Cup final.
All at DAFC will be sad to see Gary leave and we wish him well in his new career at Love Street.
