St Johnstone goalkeeper Zander Clark has signed a new contract extension with the Scottish Premiership club.
Clark made his first team debut for the Saints last month against Dundee United when he replaced Alan Mannus in the 2-1 win.
The 23-year-old, who impressed during a loan spell with Queen of the South last season, was handed his first start in the 5-1 victory over Aberdeen last Saturday.
Saints manager Tommy Wright is delighted to have secured the services of Clark, who joined the club's youth side in 2008.
"I've said from the start of this season that I have two number one keepers at my disposal and that's a great position to be in," Wright told the club's website.
"We've been speaking to Zander for a few weeks and agreed the deal just before the Dundee United match so there was an irony that a couple of days later Zander got his chance due to Alan's sending off.
"He did well that day and again at Pittodrie and I am delighted the club has been able to extend his contract."
Zander added: "I'm delighted to have my immediate future sorted and I'm now able to concentrate on challenging for that starting jersey on a regular basis.
"The deal was agreed a couple of days before the Dundee United game so it's been a special couple of weeks for me."
