"Alfie came in through the Advance Centre programme, and was actually given a head start by a year. He came into the Under 10s, a year earlier than most, to work with Jim Crawford. It was our former head scout Colin Grant who spotted him and told us we needed to get Alfie into the club. He's from Newtonhill.
"Alfie is another one who has come right through in terms of the tournament culture that we've managed to create now. He's had exposure of playing against lots of different teams and styles. He's more of a creative midfielder who can play in different areas. He's left footed, very good from set plays, he's got a good range of passing and is creative in possession. Alfie broke into the Under 18s in the second half of the season last year, which was a good chance for him to make his mark and earn his professional contract. Another young player to progress through the Scottish FA Performance School, Alfie will be aiming to kick off his new season where he left off before the break."
