Seven players are to depart Kelty Hearts this summer following the expiry of their contracts.  Scott Allan, Liam Brown, Adam Corbett, Ross Cunningham, James Lyon, Kirk Broadfoot and Billy Owens will leave New Central Park.

Scott Allan moves on after making 22 appearances for the club since arriving last summer.  He notched two goals and two assists during his time in maroon.

Liam Brown and Adam Corbett will also leave the club after spells hamstrung by injuries.  Brown made five league appearances this campaign scoring once, while Corbett ends a two year stint where he made 29 appearances overall.

The next player to leave after their contract expires is Ross Cunningham.  The 26 year-old leaves after two years with the club, after this season being the leagues joint top goalscorer.  Scoring 14 goals this campaign from a deeper role, Cunningham moves on.

James Lyon will leave after arriving on a short-term deal in January after making eight appearances, Kirk Broadfoot also departs following a short spell at the club. Finally, Billy Owens’ two year spell at the club comes to an end with the midfielder making 60 appearances overall during his time with Kelty Hearts.

The club would like to wish all departing players the best with their future endeavours.
