St Johnstone have confirmed the signing of Trinidad and Tobago internationalist Andre Raymond.

The 23-year-old left-back has signed a two-year deal at McDiarmid Park after being recommended to the club by former midfielder – and international team-mate – Dan Phillips.

He has been capped nine times by his country and played most recently in Portugal with Vilar de Perdizes.

Upon signing, he said: “I am very grateful. Firstly I am thankful to God, I am thankful to my family, my coaches and my peers who always believed in me.

“I want to use this move as a stepping stone to learn and continue to be a student of the game.

“I always took an interest in St Johnstone when I knew my international teammate Dan Phillips was playing at the club.

“He contacted me and he mentioned that the coach was really interested in me and he liked me a lot.

“From then I continued to watch games, study the style of play and witness the atmosphere of the fans, which is really great. I really wanted to come and join the team.”

Manager Craig Levein added: “We are delighted to bring Andre into the club to bolster our defensive options.

“Andre was a recommendation of our former player Dan Phillips, and we are excited to work with him going forward. Andre’s pace and power will be useful attributes both in defence and attack.”
