Ryan Strain has signed for Dundee United.
The Australia international has joined the Tannadice club on a two-year deal following his departure from St Mirren.
The right-back had been heavily linked with a move south of the border, much like former club and international teammate Keanu Baccus, however, he is Dundee United-bound.
“The signing of Ryan is a coup for the club, I’m thrilled to get the deal done”, said United Manager Jim Goodwin. “Throughout the past two seasons, he has been one of the country’s best performers in his position - his set-piece delivery is first-class, he rarely loses a defensive duel and possesses an infectious work rate.
