St Mirren sell Trevor Carson to Dundee
The veteran stopper has signed a three-year deal at Dens Park
St Mirren goalkeeper Trevor Carson has signed for Dundee on a three-year deal.
The 35-year old joins the Dens Park side for a six-figure fee after moving to Paisley last summer.
A statement from the Buddies says Carson "made clear his desire to move on from" from the club this window.
The stopper told Dundee's official website: “It’s brilliant to be here, I am very grateful to the manager and everyone involved who has made this deal possible.
"It’s the old cliché but I can’t wait to get started. I had a great conversation with the manager and as soon as I came off the phone, I said I want to play for that man, he talked about the project and the plans he has got here. It helps that Joe (Shaughnessy) is here too, who I played with last season.
"Joe spoke very highly of the place and these things count massively in football.”
Manager Tony Docherty added: “I am absolutely delighted to secure the signing of Trevor Carson who I regard as one of the best goalkeepers in the league.
"Last season when playing against him he had some outstanding performances and saves. He has got so much experience, he knows the league and I think he will bring a lot to the club. We have acquired a fantastic goalkeeper and professional.
"He ,like Joe (Shaughnessy), will help me and the coaches get our message across to the squad and he will help the young players both on and off the pitch.
"First and foremost Trevor is a top performer, a really good goalkeeper with Premier League experience, but also in terms of personality, work ethic, mentality, he is exactly everything we want to be at this football club.”
