Jaden Brown is set to complete a permanent transfer switch to St Mirren.
The full-back is expected to finalise a move to the SMiSA Stadium in the coming days after spending last season on loan in Paisley.
Brown, 25, is contracted at Lincoln until 2025 but, as first reported by the Daily Record, it's thought a permanent exit from the club to join the Buddies has been negotiated.
The full-back - who can also operate in a further advanced role on the left flank - is in line to sign a two-year deal with St Mirren.

A possible return was teased on Saturday on X, formerly Twitter, where he posted an image of him in action against Celtic.
Brown played eight times for St Mirren last season during his loan move from Lincoln - having been involved at the League One side until January.
The former Tottenham and Sheffield Wednesday player made just one start but often came off the bench to replace Scott Tanser in matches. He also played once at right wing-back.
Stephen Robinson has been swift with his transfer dealings this summer with Brown poised to become the club's fourth signing ahead of European football next month.

Shaun Rooney and Oisin Smyth have both signed full-time terms in Paisley with Brentford keeper Ellery Balcombe also checking in on a season-long loan.
St Mirren enter the Conference League next month with a tie against the winners of Icelandic club Valur against Albanian outfit KF Vllaznia.
Before then, the Buddies will play four pre-season friendlies beginning with a trip to Fife to take on Dunfermline on July 6.
They'll then play Morton in a Renfrewshire derby at Cappielow on July 9 followed by hosting English clubs Fleetwood Town and Carlisle United at the SMiSA Stadium on July 13 and July 19 respectively.

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!
