Steven MacLean has snapped up his first St Johnstone summer signing with goalkeeper Dimitar Mitov putting pen to paper with the Perth club.
The Bulgarian joins Saints to challenge Ross Sinclair for the No.1 jersey at McDiarmid Park on a two-year deal.
Having risen through the ranks of his youth club, Chavdar Etropole, the shotstopper soon caught the attention of scouts from across Europe.
He subsequently showcased his abilities at both the domestic and youth international levels, earning caps at U16 and U19 level with Bulgaria.
The 26-year-old joins us having spent six years at his former club, Cambridge. In his final season at the Abbey Stadium he played a huge part in retaining the club's League 1 status after a dramatic survival push.
Speaking to SaintsTV, Mitov said: "I'm delighted to get the deal over the line and I can't wait to get started.
"I had a few different opportunities to go to different clubs but the option of coming here for a completely different challenge is one I couldn't turn down.
"Conversations with the manager were brilliant, he explained his vision for what he wants and it made the decision even easier.
"I want to achieve as much as I can here personally but also help the team as much as possible. It's a great club and I can't wait to get going."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
