The Canadians are working on getting his clearance processed and all being well the 27-year-old could be involved in their next squad to face Curacao in June.

Meanwhile Saints, who face Hamilton this weekend, have signed Liam Craig on a new two-year deal.

The ex-Hibs star, in his second spell at McDiarmid, scored twice in the win over Motherwell before the international break.

And boss Tommy Wright is thrilled to get another player’s future secured.

He said: “Liam has signed a new two-year deal and we’re delighted because he’s a vital member of the squad.

“He can play in a number of positions and always chips in with goals.

“Things are taking shape now, we’ve got the majority of the team signed for next year, that continuity is important.

“I’ll still be looking for two or three new players in the summer but we’ve done the hard work in getting the players we have signed up again.”
