Andre Raymond Sent on Loan to Dunfermline Athletic
Trinidadian International to Spend the Remainder of the Season at Scottish Championship Side
KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC – Trinidadian international Andre Raymond will spend the remainder of the season at Scottish Championship side Dunfermline Athletic after being loaned by Scottish Premier League outfit St Johnstone.
About Andre Raymond
The 24-year-old left-back signed a two-year deal at St Johnstone last summer and has made 21 appearances for the Saints in the Premier League and League Cup this season, with all but one being starts. However, he has had limited playing time under new head coach Simon Valakari, who took over in October 2024.
Career Background
His move to Scotland comes after he made 63 appearances for four Portuguese sides between 2020 and 2024: Lank Vilaverdense, Castro Daire, Dumiense, and Vilar De Perdizes.
Dunfermline Athletic Statement
In a statement, Dunfermline Athletic said they were looking forward to Raymond joining the club. “Dunfermline is pleased to confirm the signing of Trinidad and Tobago international Andre Raymond on-loan from St Johnstone until the end of the season,” it read, announcing that Raymond will wear the number 13 jersey.
Head Coach’s Comments
Head coach Michael Tidser said adding another left-back will increase competition for places. “The club is trying to get players and help the squad. Andre played a lot for St Johnstone at the start of the season, but obviously, the new manager coming in doesn’t fancy him, so we hope we can get a wee tune out of him from now to the end of the season,” Tidser said.
Conclusion
This loan move is an opportunity for Raymond to gain more playing experience and showcase his skills in the Scottish Championship. The 24-year-old will be an important addition to the Dunfermline Athletic squad, providing competition for places and potentially bringing a different dynamic to the team.
