Andre Raymond signs for Saints

We are delighted to announce the signing of Trinidad and Tobago internationalist Andre Raymond, subject to international clearance.

The 23-year-old moves to McDiarmid Park on a deal until the summer of 2026 and arrives following a spell in Portugal with Vilar de Perdizes.

Raymond has also featured for his national team alongside our former player Dan Phillips, making nine appearances for his country so far to date.

Andre has been training with the squad for some time now and he is excited to get to work in the Premier Sports Cup, with matches against Morton, Alloa and East Fife to come.

Upon signing his deal, Raymond said: “I am very grateful. Firstly I am thankful to God, I am thankful to my family, my coaches and my peers who always believed in me.

“I want to use this move as a stepping stone to learn and continue to be a student of the game.

“I always took an interest in St Johnstone when I knew my international teammate Dan Phillips was playing at the club.

“He contacted me and he mentioned that the coach was really interested in me and he liked me a lot.

“From then I continued to watch games, study the style of play and witness the atmosphere of the fans, which is really great. I really wanted to come and join the team.”

Manager Craig Levein added: “We are delighted to bring Andre into the club to bolster our defensive options.

“Andre was a recommendation of our former player Dan Phillips, and we are excited to work with him going forward. Andre’s pace and power will be useful attributes both in defence and attack.”
