Partick Thistle have completed the signing of Reading defender Niall Keown on a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee.
The 22-year-old, the son of former England centre-back Martin, spent the second half of last season on loan at Firhill.
He made 14 league appearances for the Jags as they finished sixth in the Ladbrokes Premiership.
"Alan Archibald (manager) has spent the summer looking to strengthen his squad for the season ahead with the emphasis being on bringing in the right player for the squad,” the club said in a statement on their official website.
“We are delighted to announce that he has managed to add a defender to his squad with the signing of Niall Keown.
“All at the club are excited to see the defender back wearing red and yellow once again.”
Keown, who has been capped by the Republic of Ireland Under-21s, will link up with his team-mates next week at Thistle's training camp in England
