Tommy Wright has added to his defensive options

St Johnstone have signed defender Clive Smith on loan from Preston North End until the end of the season.

Saints have strengthened their defensive options with Ally Gilchrist injured and Liam Gordon and Aaron Comrie on loan at Peterhead.

"I'm delighted to bring in a young defender for the rest of the season," manager Tommy Wright told the St Johnstone website.

"Clive has come highly recommended and will be a good addition to the squad."

Wright's men visit Partick Thistle on Wednesday evening.
