St Johnstone have started to build their squad for the 2018-19 season with the signing of Colchester midfielder Drey Wright.

Wright, 23, has signed a two-year deal with the Perth club which will start at the end of his contract with the English League Two side.

He progressed through the Essex club's academy and made his senior debut at the age of 17 - he will leave Colchester just before making his 150th appearance.

Saints boss Tommy Wright said: "Drey is a player we've watched over a period of time and we were aware that his contract was coming to an end.

"He's played in a variety of roles for Colchester United but I see him as a right-sided attacking player and I'm confident that he'll contribute much to the team both in terms of goals and assists.
