St Mirren boss Jim Goodwin has expressed his excitement following the signing of German-born Ghanaian forward Collin Quaner in the on-going winter transfer window.
Quaner joins the club on a deal until the end of the season.
He has been without a club since leaving English side Huddersfield Town AFC in the summer transfer window.
"Collin is a striker who has played at a high level in Germany with Union Berlin. Huddersfield bought him from there and he played a number of games in the English Premier League," he told the club's official website.
"He comes with a real good pedigree and we’re really excited to see about what Collin can bring to the team.
"He’s six foot three, a really good athlete with a great turn of pace. He’s been training with Schalke for the last couple of months and he’s been looking after himself. We’re very lucky to get him."
The 29-year-old began his career at Fortuna Dusseldorf in his native Germany, before spells at Arminia Bielefeld, FC Ingolstadt, Hansa Rostock and VfR Aalen before joining Union Berlin in 2015.
His form in Germany’s capital led to a move to English side Huddersfield Town in January 2017. Collin became a cult hero at the Terriers as he played his role in the club securing promotion to the English Premier League before leaving the club in July 2020.
Collin is likely to be named in the squad for the St Johnstone match next weekend.
