The nine applications for membership were all approved yesterday (Thursday) at a meeting of the member clubs, who had the overall say on who was admitted.
The newcomers were accepted, with significant voting majorities in each case, and the next issue will be to see where they fit within the East of Scotland League structure.
Joining the league are Edinburgh South, along with Fife outfits Kennoway Star Hearts, Kirkcaldy & Dysart, Lochgelly Albert, Lochore Welfare, Luncarty, Newburgh, Rosyth and Thornton Hibs.
Berwickshire side Eyemouth United, who took a year out to rebuild their squad during a non-playing season, will also be returning to the East of Scotland fold in the new season.
