St Johnstone Recruitmen­t challenge

- SJ

The season end looms and for Saints players not yet offered contracts, or whose aspiration­s pay-wise cannot be met by the club, there are obvious distractio­ns. Getting a contract for next season cannot be anything but a major worry.

The manager’s challenge will be replacing those who leave. Tommy Wright has been very good at identifyin­g players who may be available with contracts expiring. His signings last summer have all benefited from being given a chance to prove themselves.

A creative holding midfielder and a striker would be top of most supporters lists. Anybody know of any Jody Morris or Roddy Grant types out of contract?
