I seem to recall Lewis Alessandra being our first summer signing 4 years ago, then maybe Deane Smalley a year later? Can anybody recall if that's right or not, and who have been our first summer signings since then?

Hopefully as our season finished a little earlier than last season we might be further down the line for securing our signings this year.
