George Williams is starting to show why Tommy Wright brought him to St Johnstone on loan, according to the Perth boss.
And the Fulham man, who was impressive against Hibs a week ago, has even more in his locker for the remaining weeks of the season.
“George had his best game against Hibs and I think there is still plenty more to come from him,” said Wright.
“He came to us having not played for a while so it has taken a little bit of time to get up to speed.
“But he’s had a few games now and the sharpness is starting to come.
“When you sign players in January you’re not getting people who have been up to speed and flying elsewhere so it takes time.
“He did well against Celtic in his first game and I think he took that up a level or two against Hibs.
“He is intelligent, he finds space well, has a good touch and he drives at people.
“The challenge for him coming up here is to put himself in the shop window for next season.
“He is coming out of contract at Fulham, although they have an option to keep him for another year, so it is a big few months for him.
“How he performs over the next run of games will determine what he does in the next couple of years.
“Whether that is go back to Fulham and get his chance there, go somewhere else in England or win a contract here with us.”
Wright added: “Scottish football is a good place to build up your profile again and kick-start your career.
“I read Trevor Carson at Motherwell say recently that he’s not playing any better than he did in League Two but because of the profile here, more big games, more games on television and the media coverage, he’s getting much more publicity.
“Coming here had enhanced his profile so that shows the SPFL gives players a great platform for their careers.”
Meanwhile, Wright revealed he has been speaking to chairman Steve Brown about their plans for next season and beyond.
“It is a big few months for everyone here,” he said. “We have new contracts to give out to players so they are all in the same boat.
“We also need to look at the direction we are going in.
“I have been having positive conversations with the chairman about what we have done in the past and what we want to do in the future.
“We are sitting down assessing a lot of things and thinking how we can do things differently.”
