Alex Greive joins Dundee United on loan deal

St Mirren player Alex Greive has joined Dundee United on loan until the end of the season, subject to SFA approval.

Alex joins the cinch Championship side for the remainder of the 2023/24 season and links up with ex-Saints boss Jim Goodwin who gave the forward his St Mirren debut against, yes – Dundee United at Tannadice almost two years ago.

The 24-year-old New Zealand international has made 22 appearances for Saints this season, though only three of those have been starts.

Manager Stephen Robinson said: “This opportunity arose for Alex to go and get more game time which was something we felt we couldn’t guarantee him at this moment in time.

“It’s a good chance for him to go and get more playing time and frees up some money for us to potentially add to the squad during the window.

“We wish Alex the best of luck during his time at Dundee United.”
