Davidson left for Stoke this week to join former Leicester team-mate Gary Rowett's backroom staff.

The Perth club posted on Twitter: We're delighted to announce that Tommy Wright has promoted Alex Cleland to the post of assistant manager following the departure of Callum Davidson.

“Alex has been in charge of the Under 20s in recent seasons while also being involved in first team preparations.''

Former Saints defender Alan Maybury has re-joined the club to take over Cleland's former role
