Pars midfielder Jamie McCunnie has left East End Park to join English League One side Hartlepool United. The 24 year old had been reported to have agreed a new deal to stay with the Athletic but has instead joined Danny Wilson's side under freedom of contract. The news will be a blow to manager Stephen Kenny, who had been impressed with McCunnie's performances since claiming a midfield berth.
Speaking on his club's official website, Hartlepool manager Wilson said he was "delighted" to secure the former Scotland Under 21 captain.
"Jamie has a good pedigree coming from Dunfermline in the Scottish Premier League," he said.
"He's coming to us on the back of an excellent performance against Celtic in the Scottish Cup final where they were unlucky not to get anything from the game.
"The team didn't really do itself justice last season but Jamie came out of it with a lot of credit and we're delighted to get him signed up."
I'm sure everyone at Dunfermline Athletic would like to thank Jamie for his contribution to the Pars and would wish him every success with his new club.
