St Johnstone have signed striker Denny Johnstone on a season-long loan from Colchester United.
The 22-year-old former Scotland youth international came through the youth ranks at Celtic before making the move south to sign for Birmingham City in 2014 where he played three times.
St Johnstone boss Tommy Wright said: "He [Johnstone] ticks a lot of boxes for us.
"He has got quality and, in the market we are in, it is a great option. He will improve the team. He is only 22 and he has a presence.
"When you look at his record in the Championship with Morton, he scored 14 or 15 goals in 30 games or so and we want to try to get him back to that."
Johnstone also spent time on loan at Macclesfield Town, Cheltenham, Burton Albion and Greenock Morton before joining Colchester last season where he played 35 times, scoring twice.
