Albion Rovers

On 11 July 2019, East signed for Albion Rovers.[3] East scored seven league goals during his solitary season for the Coatbridge club.[1] At the end of that season, East rejected a contract offer from the Wee Rovers, instead preferring to chase a full-time contract elsewhere.[4]

On 25 September 2020, East signed a full-time contract with Queen of the South before the start of the 2020–21 season.[5] On 17 October 2020, East's league debut for the Doonhamers was in a 2–1 defeat versus Ayr United at Somerset Park.[6] East had already played in two Betfred League Cup matches versus Greenock Morton and St Mirren earlier in October 2020. [7] [8]

On 10 November 2020, East scored his first goal for the Doonhamers versus Queen's Park, his first club, at Hampden Park in a 3-1 victory in the League Cup.[9]

On 9 June 2021, East signed a one-year extension to his contract to remain at the Doonhamers for the 2021-22 season, [10] where he has reverted from playing as a striker to a centre back. [11]
