St Johnstone would be the perfect fit for David Goodwillie, according to Perth defender Brian Easton.
The Scotland striker is mulling over his options after his loan deal with Dundee United came to an end this month.
Saints have made him an offer, as have Aberdeen, while the Blackburn Rovers man may also have offers in England.
Easton knows Goodwillie from their days as Scotland under-21 internationals, and he is well placed to give advice on how to get your career back on track after a stop-start couple of years.
Goodwillie’s dilemma is one the full-back can relate to, and his advice would be sign for Saints “in a heartbeat”.
Easton said: “The club is ambitious to bring the best players in that they can within their budget. We’re still in both the cups and we want to climb the league.
“If he was speaking to me I’d tell him to come in a heartbeat.
“Like him, I’ve had highs and lows in my career, and I’ve found a place where I’m happy. That’s a massive thing.
“So if he was to ask me, I’d tell him this is a club he’d really enjoy being at.
“There’s a few of us know him from the under-21s myself, David (Wotherspoon) and Murray (Davidson).
“I actually spoke to him when Dundee United were in Perth a few weeks ago but I didn’t know he would be linked with us. He’s a good lad and he’d fit right in.”
Confirmation of Easton’s contentment at McDiarmid Park came in the form of a new contract being signed a few days ago.
“It was an easy decision because I’ve really been enjoying my football,” he said.
“When the gaffer mentioned a new deal for me a few weeks ago I said ‘yeah’ immediately and it was just a matter of sorting the contract out.
“In football when you’re happy you don’t want to give that up.”
Tam Scobbie has also signed up on an extended deal, and the pair’s battle for the left-back slot should continue to be a keenly fought one.
Easton said: “I knew with the sort of player Tam is he’d give me a run for my money for that position. But we’ve also played together as well, when Tam has slotted in at centre-back.
“There’s competition for every place at this club.
“You need to know that you have to be at the top of your game in training and in matches to get a starting place. That’s how it should be.
“The fact that both of us have signed new deals at the same time shows we’ve both done well and we’re both in the manager’s plans.”
