Derby winger Kyle McAllister has rejoined St Mirren on a loan deal until the end of the season.

McAllister, a product of St Mirren's youth academy, made 17 appearances for the senior side during the 2015/16 and 2016/17 season before joining Derby in January 2017 for an undisclosed fee.

The 19-year-old scored his only senior goal for the club in the Scottish Cup against Spartans in 2016 and could make his second debut for the Paisley club on Saturday in the same cup against Alloa.

Speaking about the signing, manager Oran Kearney said: "I'm very pleased to have Kyle in.

"Number one you want to get good players in, but I also think it's very important to have people who have come through the club and know what it is about.

"Kyle had a great start to his career here and got his move to Derby. He's someone I've been aware of sine I joined the club with people talking about him.

"He's fully fit at this point in time and we can't wait to get him in and get him started.

"We are still in the market for more width as we lack those ball carriers, those wide players who can go and unlock defences and Kyle definitely ticks that box so it's brilliant from that point of view to get him in as well."

St Mirren have also agreed a loan deal with Bournemouth 'keeper Jordan Holmes, who has joined until the end of the season.

Holmes will compete for the number one spot with fellow new signing Vaclav Hladky, the Czech having signed for the Buddies earlier this month.
