Alloa Athletic are delighted to confirm the loan signing of 20-year-old goalkeeper Liam McFarlane from Heart of Midlothian for the duration of the 2025/26 season, subject to Scottish FA approval.

Last season, the Hearts Academy product was a standout performer for East Fife as they secured promotion to League 1. After making 39 appearances and keeping 14 clean sheets for the Methil side, McFarlane was named East Fife’s Young Player of the Year and was voted into the PFA Scotland Team of the Season by his fellow professionals as the best goalkeeper in League 2.
