Joe Cardle
Born: Blackpool 7th February 1987
Joe Cardle was a very popular signing when Allan Johnston brought him back to East End Park in July 2015.
After leaving Dunfermline, Joe joined Raith Rovers where he made 46 appearances. From there he joined Ross County for the 2014-2015 season but made just 14 starts and 11 off the bench for the Staggies. A free agent Joe trialled for Dunfermline against East Fife and Berwick Rangers.
As a schoolboy Joe Cardle played for Lytham Juniors and Burnley before signing his first professional contract at Port Vale. Joe was with Port Vale for three years from August 2005 before going on loan to Clyde in 2007-08. He made 10 appearances in the three months at Broadwood from September to November before returning to England after injury curtailed his time at Clyde.
He signed for Airdrie United for season 2008-09 and signed a pre contract with Dunfermline in January 2009. A very quick player, extremely skilful with an ability to play on either side of the park. The East End faithful know just how much the Blackpool-born winger can entertain and mesmerise any defence with his dribbling skills. They saw him make 96 starts for Dunfermline + 42 as sub, in almost four seasons, scoring 24 goals.
Joe made 104 appearances between July 2015 and May 2018 before going on to join AFC Fylde and then in January 2019, Partick Thistle.
