The midfielder, 35, who made ten appearances last season in the Premiership for St Johnstone. has agreed a shock deal with the Warriors after deciding to move to part-time football.
Having also played for Aberdeen and latterly Derby County over a hugely successful eight year spell – where he was named the Rams’ player of the year twice – he comes to Ochilview as a coup for Swift’s side.
The boss has also significantly boosted his squad’s firepower, with two strikers signing on.
