St Mirren sign up striker Higdon

Higdon has penned a two-year contract with St Mirren

St Mirren have signed striker Michael Higdon on a two-year deal.

The 25-year-old was out of contract after two seasons with Scottish Premier League rivals Falkirk.

He scored 17 goals during his stay with the Bairns, including the winning goal at Inverness on the final day of last season to avoid relegation.

The Liverpool-born forward was used as a substitute that day, and came off the bench again as Falkirk lost the Scottish Cup final against Rangers.

Higdon started his career at Crewe Alexandra, scoring 10 goals in four seasons with The Railwaymen.

A powerful centre forward who provides an aerial threat, his time at Falkirk began with a bang and two goals in the opening league win of the season against Gretna.
