Eamonn Brophy has signed a pre-contract with St Mirren as the striker is set to leave Kilmarnock at the end of the season.
The forward has penned a three-year deal with the Buddies as the Paisley side were able to beat the likes of Hearts, Hibs and Aberdeen to seal his signature.
And Saints boss Jim Goodwin is delighted to have the Scotland-capped attacker on the books for next season.
He said: "We’re absolutely delighted.
"It’s a really exciting signing for us considering the teams we were competing with and how highly regarded Eamonn is on the Scottish stage. I think it’s a real coup for us.
"He’s at a brilliant age and coming into the best years of his career. It shows the ambition of the club and I’m just delighted we were able to pull it off."
St Mirren chief executive Tony Fitzpatrick added: "We hope supporters see this signing as a reflection of our ambitions as a football club going forward and another important step in our journey towards fan ownership.
"This deal would not have been possible without the continued support from SMiSA, Kibble, and, most importantly, our loyal fans."
