Akin Famewo, right, is St Mirren's third signing of the January window

St Mirren have made Akin Famewo their third signing in 24 hours, with the Norwich City centre-back joining on loan until the end of the season.

Famewo, 21, who can also play left-back, sought advice from Norwich team-mate and former St Mirren midfielder Kenny McLean before making the move.

He joins fellow January recruits Conor McCarthy and Jamie McGrath in Paisley.

"I didn't know a great lot about Scottish football, but Kenny has told me a bit about it," Famewo said.

"I spoke to him about the move as he has links to the club and I was really keen to join. It's a great opportunity in a great league."

Famewo has yet to feature for English Premier League side Norwich's first team since moving from Luton Town a year ago.
