Declan Gallagher completes move from St Mirren to Dundee United
The Scotland international joins on a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee
Dundee United have completed the signing of St Mirren defender Declan Gallagher.
The Scotland international joins on a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee.
Gallagher joined the Buddies from Aberdeen last summer and went on to make 34 appearances in all competitions.
He has also been handed 10 caps by national team boss Steve Clarke.
It means United boss Jim Goodwin has now secured seven summer additions as he looks to gain promotion back to the Premiership.
After completing the signing, Goodwin said: "The right side of our defence was a position that we felt we needed to strengthen and when we heard about Declan's availability, it was a no-brainer.
"He's a very experienced defender who has played the majority of his career in the top flight and was involved with the national team recently so it's a great coup for the club."
St Mirren boss Stephen Robinson told the club's official website: "Declan had an opportunity arise to move to Dundee United and heâs from Dundee so itâs something that works well for him.
"He hasnât played as much as he wanted to since the World Cup and we couldnât guarantee him those minutes.
"Iâve worked with Declan for a long time and I couldnât deny him the opportunity to move closer to home with his family and the chance to get more game time. Everyone at the club wishes him nothing but good luck.
"We will receive a fee for Declan and have already targeted a replacement that we hope to sign today subject to a medical."
