Ross Caldwell joins St Mirren

St Mirren have signed former Hibs’ striker Ross Caldwell on a one year deal that also has an option for a further year.

The 20-year-old has been on trial with Saints since the start of pre-season.

Caldwell made his debut for Hibs in 2011 against Rangers and made 19 appearances in 2012/13, scoring two goals, but he will be best remembered by the Easter Road faithful for scoring a superb last minute effort at Tynecastle to secure a famous victory.

Caldwell fell out of favour under boss Terry Butcher last term and was loaned to Scottish Championship side Alloa, for whom he scored twice.

St Mirren manager Tommy Craig said of his latest signing, “We’re delighted to have Ross on-board. He is still on his way to fulfilling the potential that he has shown for quite some time and we hope that we develop him into the player that we believe he can be.”

Ross is equally delighted to be joining St Mirren, he said, “I am delighted to have joined St Mirren. Having been at the club now for a couple of weeks I have thoroughly enjoyed every minute here and already feel part of the set up. I now want to repay the faith shown in me by Tommy, Gary and Jim in the season ahead.”
