Ex-Hatter Spillane training with St Johnstone

The former Luton Town man was recently released by Skrill Premier title rivals Cambridge United.

Manager Tommy Wright, who is seeking cover for injured players, said: “We can’t go with four defenders for the rest of the season.

“The only other fit centre-back is Ally Gilchrist, who has just played U20 football.

“If need be we will use him but I think it would be remiss of me if I didn’t bring somebody in going into such a crucial part of the season.

“We are looking at one or two options and will then make a decision.”
