Defender Louis Jackson has joined St Mirren from Manchester United on a two-year deal, with the option of another year. At senior club level, he featured eight times on loan at Solihull Moors last season, scoring once. "After I spoke to the manager, he told me about his philosophy and the direction that the club's going now in terms of trying to develop young players and giving us the opportunities, which I've seen him do since the start of the season," Jackson said of St Mirren boss Craig McLeish.
