Dunfermline Athletic Youth Academy

We must be doing something right despite not being an Elite Academy!!! Great to see Andrew and John selected for Scotland U21 squad. Both are Academy graduates. It’s not about the status of the Academy but about the opportunity players have beyond. DAFC offers this opportunity.

Only 2 weeks after his 16th birthday, when James Hardie signed his first professional contract, James Hardie aka 'JJ' made his 1st appearance for the 1st team. JJ came to the Academy from Blue Brazil. His debut reinforces the pathway to 1st team available at DAFC. Well done JJ
