Ross County have completed the capture of St Mirren forward Eamonn Brophy for the remainder of the season.
Brophy becomes Malky Mackay’s third signing of the transfer window, joining Nohan Kenneh and Josh Stones in Dingwall.
The 26-year-old has found game time limited this season, with all but one of his 14 appearances having come from the bench.
He has been with the Buddies since 2021, having made the switch from Premiership rivals Kilmarnock where he enjoyed the most fruitful spell of his career.
