A new face has arrived between the posts.

Goalkeeper Dion Gear has joined Cowdenbeath FC from Kirkcaldy & Dysart and will play at Central Park this coming season.

Gear said: "I want to try test myself at the highest level possible.

"I’m grateful for the opportunity and hopefully we have a successful time as a club."

He played a key role in Kirkcaldy & Dysart’s seventh-place finish in the East of Scotland First Division last season and joined the team from Greig Park Rangers AFC in 2021.

Cowdenbeath manager Paul McLean said: "He’s a confident lad who is very comfortable with the ball at his feet and commands his area well.

"I’m sure he will be a good addition to the squad."

Gear was part of a strong defensive unit that helped Kirkcaldy & Dysart avoid relegation in a competitive league.
