Former Dunfermline youngster Liam Hoggan has said he is excited to "prove myself" after completing a move to Cowdenbeath.
The 19-year-old full back left the Pars at the end of last season, having progressed through their youth ranks, and has now signed on at Central Park.
Having signed a two-year apprenticeship at KDM Group East End Park in the summer of 2023, he made his first team debut in a League Cup tie with Annan Athletic.
That was one of two substitute appearances he made in black and white - the other came at Hampden, against Queen's Park, in that same season - before he moved to Gala Fairydean Rovers on loan.
He twice went out to Cowden's fellow Lowland League side, in the 2024/25 campaign, and last term, but his second stint was cut short in January, as he underwent surgery for a shoulder injury.
Hoggan, an SPFL Reserve Cup winner in 2024 and 2025, has now landed a move to the Blue Brazil, having played in their last three friendlies as a trialist.
The club said that the player, who has fully recovered from injury, "will provide competition in the wide areas", and Hoggan is keen to get going.
"It’s a good group of boys who made me feel really comfortable straight away," he said.
"We’ve got some experience and plenty of youth and I’m excited to see what we can do this season.
"It’s been tough for me recently with long term injuries so I'm excited to get back playing, prove myself, show what I can do and really kick on this season."
Blues boss, Paul McLean, commented: "He’s a player I’ve been aware of for over a year now and I'm glad we've finally got him into the club.
"He’s a versatile player who can play either wing back role and has a fantastic attitude.
"He’s fitted in well here while on trial and I’m confident he’ll continue to progress as the season gets going."
Colin Nelson, the club's director of football operations, added: "Happy to confirm the signing of Liam, a player we've monitored closely since his Dunfermline days.
"He also impressed against us while playing for Gala in previous seasons.
"Liam had a couple of offers from other Lowland League clubs so I'm delighted he has decided to join us."
