St Johnstone have confirmed the loan signing of Harrogate Town winger, Stephen Duke-McKenna.
And the Guyana international has pledged to bring “excitement” to McDiarmid Park.
“As soon as I heard there was interest, I knew it was a big opportunity for me,” said Duke-McKenna.
“I was just buzzing to get up here to Perth. I have seen the club’s recent form and there is a real buzz about the place.
“I spoke to the head coach and I wanted to get this done quickly so that I can get started right away.
“It’s a new challenge for me. I want to test myself against the top talents in this league.
“The head coach was great when I spoke to him. He is a passionate guy, he is down to earth and he has a bit of banter. We connected right away.”
Energy
The 24-year-old, who started out with Everton before being picked up by QPR, gave a flavour of what he hopes to add to Simo Valakari’s team.
“Energy,” he said. “I like to excite the fans. I will definitely be doing that.
“I want to help the team as much as possible, so hopefully I will chip in with a few goals and assists along the way.
“I can’t wait to get going. We have an exciting cup game this weekend and that can’t come soon enough for me.”
