Defender Henry Fieldson is St Mirren's fifth summer signing, with the 21-year-old joining as a free agent from Queen's Park.

The Paisley club say the "beat competition from clubs on both sides of the border" for the player who can operate at centre-back and left-back.

Having come through the academy at Sunderland, he joined Queen's Park in August 2024 and made 61 appearances for the Championship side over two seasons.

Fieldson has signed a two-year contract, with the club holding the option to extend for a further year.

"I'm just buzzing to get going," he told club media. "It's a real good project this year in terms of the new style of play and the ambition we have. I can't wait to be a part of that."

Fieldson will provide cover for the experienced Declan John, revealed head coach Craig McLeish.

"He's someone that we've been tracking for a long time," McLeish explained.

"He's played a lot of games for his age. He's got a lot of maturity about him as well. He's really fit, athletic and handles the ball really well.

"We're excited about him and it also gives us a little bit of breathing space to allow us to start exploring loan options for Thomas Falconer to give him the first team experience that he needs."
