St Johnstone have completed the signing of Craig Conway on a one-year deal, with the winger poised to make his debut against former club Dundee United on Saturday.

The former Scotland international has been training with the Perth side.

Conway, 35, played for Salford City last season after spells with Blackburn Rovers and Cardiff City.

"I spoke to people and got glowing references about his character," manager Callum Davidson said.

"And you see him out on the training pitch helping the younger players."

Davidson will mark his managerial debut at Tannadice having replaced Tommy Wright, who spent seven years in charge of St Johnstone.

The squad is largely the same as the one which finished in the top six last season, with Drey Wright's switch to Hibernian the most notable departure.

Despite that, Davidson is pleased with his attacking options and singled out Michael O'Halloran for praise.

"He's come back and his attitude's been fantastic," the St Johnstone boss said.

"His performances have been really good, and he's somebody I'll look towards to be a big player this season for me."
