St Johnstone have agreed an extended contract with James Brown.
The right back, who can deputise anywhere across the back four, has put pen to paper on a one-year agreement in Perth.
And the way Saints announced their soul singer namesake star’s news has gone down a storm with fans.

The Perth side’s media team headed to Concorde Records, on the city’s Scott Street, to film an unknown person flicking through a selection of LPs.
Eventually, a ‘record’ featuring Maltese internationalist Brown on the cover and entitled ‘1 Year Extension’ is pulled from the pile, with a nod to Saints manager Steve MacLean in the form of a ‘Macca Records’ imprint.
Supporters were quick to praise the club on social media, with Ian Slater taking to Twitter to say: “I feel good! Knew that I would now.”

Meanwhile, Dylan Archibald said simply: “This is class.”
Brown played a key role for Saints last season, with his versatility ensuring a place in the match-day squad.
He also scored his first – and probably best – Saints goal with an incredible strike against Rangers and earned international recognition with Malta.
