Bon voyage, Dylan. You take with you countless memories and leave behind many Scottish friends."Bikey was signed by Dave Mackay in November 2016 on an amateur contract and made an immediate impact, scoring on his debut against Wick Academy in the Scottish Cup before going on to nine more goals in two months.That form brought him to the attention of Hearts who signed him in February 2017, loaning him back to the Binos in April of that year.He left Hearts and played in Cyprus and France before making a return trip to Forthbank in August 2019 and although he didn't make the same impact, he remained a big favourite of the supporters..Also leaving are winger Daniel Scally, following the expiry of his short-term contract.
