Scottish Premiership club St. Mirren FC have signed Ugandan defender Elvis Bwomono on a contract until the end of the season with an option of extending it to one year.
He will be available to play when the January transfer window officially opens.
Bwomono has joined St. Mirren as a free agent after his contract with Iceland’s IBV Vestmannaeyjar expired last month.
He had trials with the club and impressed coach Steve Robinson who has been in search of a right back following the recent injury of his first choice Ryan Strain.
