WELCOME, ANDY KIRK!

Raith Rovers Football Club is pleased to announce the appointment of Andy Kirk as the Club’s new Assistant Manager.

As Barry Robson continues to build his squad, Andy was identified as a key figure he wanted to add to his backroom staff.

The 45-year-old Northern Irishman arrives at Stark’s Park with a wealth of experience both on the pitch and in the dugout.

Most recently, Andy was part of the coaching team at St Johnstone, where he served as assistant to Craig Levein and briefly took charge as caretaker manager.

As a player, Andy enjoyed a prolific career as a forward, with over 500 senior appearances and 171 goals to his name.

He began at Glentoran, where he won the Irish League title and several cup honours, before a standout spell at Heart of Midlothian, scoring consistently in the Scottish top flight and earning 11 caps for Northern Ireland.

He also had successful stints with Boston United, Northampton Town, Yeovil Town, Dunfermline Athletic and Alloa Athletic.

Transitioning into coaching, Andy developed his skills within the youth systems at Rangers and Hearts, before moving into senior management with Hearts Women and later Brechin City, leading the latter to a Highland League title.

Since then, his reputation for tactical knowledge, leadership, and player development has continued to grow.

Everyone at Raith Rovers wishes Andy a warm welcome to Stark’s Park and looks forward to seeing him in the dugout alongside Barry.
