Ryan Strain has signed for Dundee United.
The Australia international has joined the Tannadice club on a two-year deal following his departure from St Mirren.
The right-back had been heavily linked with a move south of the border, much like former club and international teammate Keanu Baccus, however, he is Dundee United-bound.
“The signing of Ryan is a coup for the club, I’m thrilled to get the deal done”, said United Manager Jim Goodwin. “Throughout the past two seasons, he has been one of the country’s best performers in his position - his set-piece delivery is first-class, he rarely loses a defensive duel and possesses an infectious work rate.

"Furthermore, he has experience on both the European and international stage which he can pass on to other members of the dressing room.
“Bringing Ryan to Tannadice represents an exciting and forward-thinking piece of business, and I look forward to working with him upon his return from international duty.”
The 27-year-old started his career at Aston Villa. He then moved Down Under where he turned out for Modbury Jets, before joining Adelaide United.
He signed for Israeli side Maccabi Haifa in the summer of 2021 before joining the Buddies for the 2022/23 campaign, where he scored three goals and provided five assists.
