Ali Crawford seals permanent St Johnstone move
The midfielder spent the first half of the season on loan from Bolton Wanderers
St Johnstone have signed Ali Crawford on a permanent deal until the summer of 2024.
The midfielder spent the first half of the season on loan from Bolton Wanderers but is now officially a Saints player.
The 30-year old has scored twice in 16 appearances so far this campaign.
Crawford told the club's official website: "From the moment I joined St Johnstone I had a really good feeling about the football club.
"The lads in the dressing room all made me feel welcome and that was very important.
"From early on I always hoped to stay here beyond the initial loan deal and to now be signed until 2024 is great for myself and my family to have that stability.
"On a personal level, I know there is hard work ahead and I'm ready to roll my sleeves up. I want to help the team win games of football.
"We find ourselves in a position in the Premiership table that we do not want to be in. It's up to us, the players, to get us out of it and climb up the table.
"I know we are all ready to face this challenge. We owe it to the manager, the staff and the supporters to start getting points on the board.
"We have a very good squad and the manager has already made one or two signings to improve the quality and there may well be one or two more to come in.
"Anything that creates competition for places is a good thing. It's all about everybody doing what's best for the football club and giving 100 percent."
