East Fife fans are beginning to sense light at the end of the tunnel on the pitch following Jim Moffat's success at securing ten new signings in the last fortnight. It is all the more impressive given the fact that the manager was able to secure the services of every player he had his sights on...
Joining the existing playing squad at Bayview next season will be;
Striker Dean Walker from Forfar,
- former fans' favourite, John Allison,
- East Stirling's player of the year and skipper, Gordon Russell,
- young Livingston defender Andrew Rollo,
- promising Cowdenbeath midfielder, Craig McMillan,
- defender, Michael Hall from East Stirling,
- Craig Farnan, a midfielder from Forfar,
- experienced defender Euan Donaldson from Forfar,
- promising Falkirk goalscorer Kenny Deuchar
and last but not least, ex-Fifer, veteran keeper, Jim Butter who
will be helping out as goalkeeping coach as well as his playing role.
