Craig Easton: Has signed for Dunfermline
So ex-Captain Craig got to Fife after all, to play for Scottish Premier League side Dunfermline Athletic, where he has signed an intial contract that keeps him at East End Park until January 2012.
Pars boss Jim McIntyre told www.dafc.co.uk: "Craig is a box to box midfielder, he has lots of energy and has got a goal in him. We felt we needed more cover in the middle of the park and he fits the bill."
Craig has continued to train with the Shrimpers since he turned down the offer of a new contract on reduced terms and S24 wishes him the best of luck.
