Aberdeen striker Lawrence Shankland loaned to St Mirren

St Mirren sign Aberdeen striker Lawrence Shankland on loan until the end of the season.

Aberdeen striker Lawrence Shankland has joined St Mirren on a season-long loan.

The 20-year-old, who has not featured for the Dons during the current campaign, has made a total of 17 appearances for the Scottish Premiership club since arriving at Pittodrie Stadium from Queen's Park in 2013.

"There's been rumours kicking about for a while that I could be coming here and it's good to just get it done," he told St Mirren's official website.

"The main thing I wanted was to be able to play first-team football on a regular occasion and I didn't really see myself getting into Aberdeen just now, they've got a good squad. When I heard I could get the chance here I couldn't really say no."

Shankland could make his St Mirren debut on Saturday when they host Livingston in the Scottish Championship.
