Raith Rovers’ Kevin Cuthbert signs new deal with the club

Kevin “Cat” Cuthbert has become the latest player to sign up for manager Ray McKinnon’s Raith Rovers revolution.

The Stark’s Park gaffer has been working tirelessly behind the scenes to tie up as many of this season’s successful squad for the next campaign and beyond.

That is in contrast to recent seasons where there has been a big turnover in personnel every summer.

Just this week, McKinnon persuaded Scott Robertson and Iain Davidson to put pen to paper on a one-year and a two-year deal respectively.

Now, he has secured the services of 33-year-old Cuthbert, who has made 39 appearances for the club this term, for the next two seasons at least.

McKinnon said: “I am absolutely delighted and this is one of our major signings for the future.

“Cat has great qualities and ability. He has bags of experience and leads by example.

“Kevin gives us a lot of strength and stability on the park and he is tireless on the training field.

“He is self-motivating and just gets on with his job he is a credit to himself.

“He is a right, good goalie and a really important signing for us.”
