Falkirk winger Alfredo Agyeman joins Scottish Championship leaders St Johnstone on loan.

Falkirk winger Alfredo Agyeman has joined Scottish Championship leaders St Johnstone on loan for the remainder of the season.

The 25-year-old has mainly been an impact substitute through the Bairns’ top-flight campaign so far, and he now joins the second-tier outfit hoping for more regular game time with that becoming unlikely at Falkirk with Ethan Ross’ return to full fitness and the recent signings of attacking duo Louie Marsh and Ben Parkinson.

He made 20 Premiership appearances, making two starts, but failed to score or grab an assist.

Speaking on St Johnstone’s website, Agyeman said that the loan move was a “good decision” as he looks to make an impact again in Championship and help steer the Perth side to the title.

He said: “I spoke to the gaffer to get a good understanding of the style of play and the ambition of the club. He demands a lot from the players and I’m determined to give him what he is looking for. I felt that this was a good decision for me. I want to bring a directness. I’m not scared to take people on. I want to come in and help this team to be even better. You always want to show how good you can be.

“I really can’t wait to get started and to get a full week of training with the team. There are a lot of games coming up for us, but of course we will take them one at a time. This league can be crazy at times. You need to always make sure you are ruthless. It is a tough league, but I have quickly seen the determination and ambition that everyone at this club has.”
