Alloa Athletic Women have continued their preparations for the new season by completing a trio of new signings as player-manager Jill Leiper strengthens her squad ahead of the club’s opening Scottish Cup fixture.
The Wasps have added experience, quality and youth with the arrivals of Caitlyn Stewart, Katie Arbuckle and Megan McMillan.
The first through the door was experienced striker Caitlyn Stewart, who returns to football after a spell away from the game.
Stewart previously enjoyed a successful spell with Falkirk and brings proven attacking quality to the Alloa frontline.
Joining her is exciting young midfielder Katie Arbuckle, who signs from Murieston.
Arbuckle came through the Rangers Academy before spending time with Spartans, and is regarded as a talented prospect with plenty of potential.
The latest addition is versatile midfielder Megan McMillan, who arrives from Renfrew after helping the club secure the league title last season.
McMillan also brings experience from previous spells with Dumbarton and regional representative squads, adding further strength and leadership to Leiper’s midfield options.
Player-manager Jill Leiper said: “We’re delighted to welcome Caitlyn, Katie and Megan to the club.
"They each bring different qualities to the squad and will add real competition as we continue to build.
"I’m looking forward to working with them and seeing the impact they can make this season.”
Alloa Athletic Women begin their competitive campaign this Sunday, August 9, when they host Grampian Ladies in the Scottish Cup at the Indodrill Stadium.
Kick-off is at 2pm, with supporters encouraged to come along and back the Wasps as they get their season underway.
