ST MIRREN have confirmed the signing of Keanu Baccus on a two-year deal.

The Australian has joined the Buddies as their seventh summer signing.

The 24-year-old should join up with his new teammates this week as they travel to Northern Ireland as part of their pre-season schedule.

Baccus is awaiting visa approval to finalise the move. 

Stephen Robinson said: "Keanu will provide a real energy and quality to the team.

"He’s a real athlete and gets about the pitch well. We believe he can go on to be a full Australian international.

"He’s young but he’ll bring a lot of good qualities and will enhance, not just our team, but the Scottish game."
