Career
Frye began his professional career with Kilmarnock but made no senior appearances and joined Queen of the South in 1975. Featuring only four times, Frye left after a season to join Stranraer, where he became the club's highest season goalscorer in his two years there.[1] A move to Premier Division side Dundee United followed, but Frye dropped back to lower league football within a year, joining Ayr United.
Frye made over 130 league appearances for Ayr and went on to make nearly 100 for Clyde, where he scored nearly fifty goals. Single-season spells played out Frye's career in the late 1980s, with time at Airdrieonians, and returns to Queen of the South and Stranraer. Frye went back briefly to Queen of the South in the early 1990s, playing once and serving as player-manager.
Frye spent three years managing Annan Athletic in the mid 1990s and was assistant to Rowan Alexander at Gretna until 2004.[2] He currently manages Ardrossan Winton Rovers.
