Hamilton Academical have tied up on-loan St Mirren striker John McShane on a two-year deal after the 20 year old was told he was being released by the Paisley side.

McShane has sored nine goals for Accies since joining them on loan in January and the New Douglas Park manager Billy Reid is delighted. "Jon's goals have come in just 15 matches which is a really good return," he said.
