ST JOHNSTONE have sent striker Chris Kane to Queen of the South on loan.
The 22-year-old has signed for the Doonhamers on a deal until January and will join 20-year-old Saints defender Jason Kerr in Dumfries.
Kane was last week handed a new two-year deal by St Johnstone and Queens boss Gary Naysmith believes he can help the frontman make himself an established part of Tommy Wright’s side in the future.
He said: “Chris is a proven goalscorer in both the Premiership and Championship. He is our type of player, a young lad who wants to develop.
“We have built up a good relationship with Tommy Wright and the coaching staff at St Johnstone so that’s helped us get the two boys in.
“They like that we send them clips after each game so that they can keep track of their players.”
Naysmith added: “Chris has become a bit frustrated at not playing every week, so he wants to come to try to get a regular game.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
