Former Hibs double cup winning legend Lewis Stevenson has signed for Raith Rovers FC on a two-year contract, after bringing his time at Easter Road to an end.
It’s a return to his roots for the 36-year-old having attended Balwearie High School over 20 years ago, and supporting the Rovers from a young age in the 1990s.
Stevenson had been with Hibs from the age of 14 as an apprentice, making his competitive debut in 2005 and making over 600 appearances for the capital club in all competitions as he featured regularly under 13 permanent managers.
Speaking exclusively to www.raithrovers.net, Stevenson said: “I’m delighted to finally be here. I was an avid armchair fan last season, everyone at the club has done so well and hopefully we can kick on again next season”
Rovers manager and former Hibs captain Ian Murray was delighted to capture Stevenson’s signature.
He added: “Lewis is obviously an excellent signing for us and a player I know well. He will bring so much experience and his attitude has set an example to others over his career. He can play in a couple of positions and has so much quality, I really look forward to working with him again and I’m sure being a local guy the supporters will agree it’s a great signing”
John graduated from Telford College in 2010 with an HNC in Practical Journalism and since then he worked for the North Edinburgh News, The Southern Reporter, the Irish News Review and The Edinburgh Reporter.
