Lee Erwin has signed a two-year deal with St Mirren.

The 26-year-old striker joins the Buddies after leaving fellow Scottish Premiership side Ross County.

Speaking about his move, subject to international clearance, Erwin told stmirren.com: “I’m over the moon to get everything official and I’m glad I’m now a St Mirren player.

“The manager (Jim Goodwin) sold me on it. I spoke to him and he gave me confidence that this was the right place for me.

“I’ll be hard working day-in, day-out and hopefully I can chip in with some goals.

“I’ve done the full pre-season and it’s up to the gaffer now where he sees me on Saturday.”

Manager Goodwin said: “Lee’s a player I have always liked and is a great age for us and a good old-fashioned number nine.

“I know he’s been playing on the right-side for Ross County recently but we see him as a centre-forward.

“He will provide great competition for Jon Obika but we’d also like to see the two of them play together as they’d be a real handful for teams.”

Earlier on Thursday, County confirmed they had terminated Erwin’s contract as he wanted to be located closer to the central belt for family reasons.
