St Johnstone confirm Luke Jephcott signing as striker moves to Perth

St Johnstone have confirmed the signing of striker Luke Jephcott on a two-year deal.

The Welsh youth international joins Steven MacLean's side following a five-year stint with Plymouth Argyle.

During his time with The Pilgrims, he had successful loans at Truro City and Swindon Town.

The 23-year old also has international recognition with Wales at youth level, making appearances at the under-19 and under -21 age groups.

Speaking to SaintsTV, Jephcott spoke of how much he is looking forward to a new challenge at McDiarmid Park

He said: “I’m really delighted to be here, I’m so happy to put pen to paper and I’m ready to get to work.

“It’s going to be a different challenge but it’s one I’m really looking forward to. It will be a really good test for me.

“I’m a player who loves to be in and around the box. Inside the penalty area I’ll score goals but can also drop a bit deeper to help link up play.

"I’m here to score goals and help the team as best as I can.”

A club statement added: "Luke will wear the number 16 shirt. Welcome to McDiarmid Park, Luke!"
