Returning to the club at the end of last year’s January transfer window, Scott Arfield’s signing was a moment many Falkirk fans had long dreamed of – one of our most celebrated academy graduates coming home.
It was a signing that would prove instrumental. The team had been navigating a tricky patch in the title race, and with Callum Morrison having just departed under a cloud, the club needed a boost on and off the pitch.

Arfield’s arrival immediately lifted the squad, bringing experience, composure and a keen eye for goal.
His second debut for the club will go down in Falkirk folklore – Arfield scored in the opening minute and went on to complete a hat-trick in a 5-2 win over Partick Thistle.
By the end of the campaign, Arfield’s tally had reached an impressive nine goals, and he undoubtedly played a major role in securing the Scottish Championship title – his contribution was crucial to getting the team over the line.
His leadership on and off the pitch steadied a team chasing back-to-back promotions and every goal was a moment of pure joy for the fans, a testament to Arfield’s dedication to the club over two spells.
