He was signed by Steven Pressley originally as an attacking midfielder, despite the fact he had played left-back for Rugby Town the previous season. He made his first team début in the Scottish Challenge Cup against Stirling Albion on 28 July 2012. His league debut came in September against Cowdenbeath at Central Park as a substitute in the 72nd minute of the game. On 10 November 2012, he scored his first goal for The Bairns against Raith Rovers at Stark's Park. However, he would only go on to make three further appearances that season; two of which were from the bench.
