The 24-year-old, who led Saints to Betfred Cup and Scottish Cup last season and then into Europe at the start of this campaign, has moved for a fee of around £600,000.

Wigan got their man after lodging a higher deadline day bid than fellow League One side Charlton Athletic.
Saints have lined up a loan replacement and have also strengthened their midfield by recruiting Ali Crawford from Bolton Wanderers until January.
Meanwhile, the wait goes on for Finnish striker Eetu Vertainen to secure a work permit.
