Alloa's summer ins and outs
Jimmy Fisher (left) has now left Stenhousemuir
BBC Sport Online keeps you up to date with who is leaving or joining Alloa Athletic as they make their return to Scottish League Division Two.
Alloa manager Terry Christie has shown his determination to return to Division One within a season with a number of summer signings. Experienced defenders Robbie Raeside and Derek Anderson, plus veteran midfielder Harry Curran, were snapped up when cash-hit Morton released all their players, Striker Gareth Hutchison made the short trip across the Forth after failing to agree re-signing terms with Falkirk. Goalkeeper Derek Soutar is on a year-long loan from Dundee, while Stephen Donnachie is also on a short-term deal from St Mirren.
Midfielder Jimmy Fisher rejoined Christie after leaving the manager's previous club, Stenhousemuir, and he will team up with striker Richard Walker, brought in from East of Scotland League club Whitehill Welfare. Fisher, a 33-year-old from nearby Tillicoultry, has signed a one-year deal. Striker Gareth Evans, plus defenders Craig Valentine, Gregg Watson and Steve Thomson have re-signed, but former Airdrieonians defender Frank Conway has joined Montrose as has the versatile Grant Johnston. An offer of a new deal was withdrawn from Chris Wood after he was sent off for a head-butting incident during a crucial defeat by Morton.
That has allowed Christie to talk terms with the Morton trio.
