Second Division promotion challengers Alloa Athletic have transfer-listed Brian Carrigan after signing fellow striker Bryan Prunty from Ayr United."I am delighted to get Bryan on board," manager Allan Maitland told Alloa's official website.

"But the knock on effect of that is that there is limited opportunity for Brian Carrigan to get a game now."

Maitland has also added James Bloom to his squad, with the 18-year-old Welshman joining on loan from Falkirk.

Prunty, who scored twice for his new side in a recent bounce game against Arthurlie, could make his first-team debut in Saturday's scheduled Second Division fixture against Stenhousemuir.

Ayr manager Brian Reid told his club's website: "Prunty leaves with our best wishes and it's an amicable parting.

"He did well for us last season, was a big part of us winning promotion and I thank him for that. Sometimes in football things have to change and that's what has happened here."

Carrigan's previous clubs include Clyde and Hamilton and the 30-year-old was brought to Alloa from Linlithgow Rose.
