A delighted Tam commented: "I am delighted to sign again for Dunfermline, the manager and fans made it an easy decision for me. They have been great ever since I arrived and I look forward to getting the club back to the SPL."

Director of football Jim Leishman said: "He showed at the end of last season what an important player he is for us."

Leishman also confirmed talks were still ongoing with other out of contract stars, including Gary Mason and Dorus De Vries.
