The Coldingham 23-year-old, on loan in England last season, penned a three-year deal with Scottish Championship side Raith after leaving Livingston this summer.

Second half goals from Lewis Vaughan (penalty) and Jamie Gullan, brought on as a half-time substitute, secured victory for Rovers in their final warm-up fixture of the summer at Bayview Stadium.

Borderer Hamilton made his bow for the club having previously been sidelined since signing up at the end of May by international clearance issues and a minor knock but he’s still waiting to get his name on the teamsheet for the first time as he had to play as a trialist pending confirmation of his Scottish Football Association registration.

Raith open their Viaplay Cup group campaign at home to Dunfermline Athletic this Saturday.
