East Fife manager John Robertson has continued to build his squad ahead of next season by retaining the services of three more players.
While the league the Fifers will be competing in remains up in the air, veteran striker Stevie Hislop and midfielders Lloyd Young and Robert Sloan have all signed new deals with the club.
The confirmation brings the total number of players re-signed for 2011-12 by Robertson to 11 after Bobby Linn, John Ovenstone, Michael Brown, Scott Durie, David Muir, Craig Johnstone, Ryan Wallace and Stevie Campbell committed themselves to the club last month.
Rumours around New Bayview suggest defender Jonathan Smart may well leave East Fife at the end of the season, but there has been no confirmation on that score from the Methil club.
