St Johnstone youngster Sam Denham has returned to the club following his loan spell at Brechin City.
The 19-year-old joined the Highland League side in September hoping to gain more game time.
However, Denham’s appearances have been limited and he hasn’t featured for City since the side’s 7-3 win over Strathspey Thistle on October 30.
The centre-back made seven starts for the club scoring once, in the 2-1 Scottish Cup win over Haddington Athletic.
Prior to that game, Denham escaped serious injury as he was involved in a car crash on the edge of Dundee while travelling to Glebe Park.
The highly-rated teen now returns to McDiarmid Park looking to break through the Saints’ ranks.
