Shamal George will be St Mirren's "best available" goalkeeper after joining on loan from Wycombe Wanderers, says manager Stephen Robinson.
The 27-year-old spent two years at Livingston before joining Wycombe, who have an option to recall George in January, and has made more than 100 senior club appearances across spells at five clubs.
"He comes with a vast amount of experience in the league," said St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson.
"I believe Shamal's now the best available goalkeeper to us. It's not something we searched out, but when he became available, I had no hesitation whatsoever.
"He gives real composure, a real presence in goal as well."
And Robinson added: "We'll look to get Peter Urminsky out on loan. We believe he's going to be a very good goalkeeper, but he needs to play games.
"And we've brought Ryan Mullen in, who we have real high hopes for as well. We believe Ryan will be a number one goalkeeper here."
With nine new players having joined this summer, Robinson believes St Mirren are "starting to look like a first-team squad".
"We would have liked to have added to the squad sooner," he explained. "We're getting there.
"I'd want maybe one more, maybe two. We've obviously signed Malik Dijksteel on a pre-contract, so he'll be here in January. But who knows if he can come before that. We don't know.
"I'd like one more player in and to go with a squad of 21 players. And there may be some that have to leave to allow that to happen, but we'll work on that over the coming weeks."
