We are delighted to announce that Cove Rangers have entered into a Scottish FA Cooperation Agreement with Championship leaders St Johnstone.

As a result of the partnership, the club has today signed Saints’ promising forward Jackson Mylchreest.

The eighteen year-old will be at Balmoral Stadium for the 2025-26 campaign, but under the terms of the new initiative, can be recalled by his parent club.

Paul Hartley is delighted to have added the teenager to his squad:

“Jackson is fast and mobile, he’s a good size, and has been out on loan a couple of times, so has picked up some experience.

“He gives us something we haven’t got in the squad and will be a good addition. I look forward to working with him over the coming months.”

Chairman Keith Moorhouse says it is an agreement which benefits both clubs:

“We are grateful to St Johnstone for their help in this and are delighted to have partnered-up with such a well-respected club. Jackson will get the chance to develop, just like the three Aberdeen youngsters did last season, and we get a player who I know is highly-regarded.

“I look forward to further strengthening our relationship with St Johnstone in the future.”

Jackson will wear the number fourteen shirt and goes straight into the squad for tomorrow’s League One meeting with Montrose.

We would like to thank St Johnstone for their cooperation and wish the Perth Saints all the best for the season ahead.
