Hallberg ready for more

MELKER Hallberg put together a very impressive body of midfield work in his first few months as a St Johnstone player.

But manager Callum Davidson is confident there will be even more to come from the former Hibs man next season.

Hallberg was Saints’ most creative player as they fought their way to Premiership safety last term, producing several assists as the Perth side’s found late momentum.

Davidson said: “Getting a full pre-season will be great for Melker because there’s so much improvement still to come from him.”

“He was one of our key signings last season. He made a huge impact when he arrived.

“He can get fitter because he’d been out for a long time but his stats last year still showed he put so much into the games for us.”
