Former Alloa hero Alan Trouten signs for East Fife

Former Alloa Athletic hero Alan Trouten has signed a one-year deal at League Two side East Fife.

The 36-year-old forward was a favourite at Alloa, but an injury-ravaged season led to him being released at the end of last season.

Trouten, from Cambuslang, started his career at Queen's Park in 2005 and has since played for Clyde, Airdrie, Ayr United, Brechin City and Albion Rovers. He had been at Alloa since 2018.

East Fife boss Stevie Crawford told the club's website: "We are delighted to add someone with Alan's undoubted quality and experience.

"He is a player I've always liked and another strong addition to our squad.

"I was impressed during the chat I had with Alan, and I'm sure the other players in the squad will look to him for guidance, both on and off the park, and I know he's willing to pass on his knowledge and experience to help others improve."
