St Mirren Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Alex Jakubiak on loan until the end of the season subject to international clearance.
The forward joins Saints until the end of the season from English Premier League side Watford.
The Watford academy graduate has spent part of this season on loan at English League One side Gillingham where he played with fellow new recruit Lee Hodson.
23-year-old Alex has previously played in Scotland having spent time at Falkirk in 2018 where he scored seven goals in 18 matches.
Speaking to stmirren.com on the deal, Alex said: "I spoke to the gaffer last night and I thought it would be a good move for me.
I didn’t really have to think about it too much, it was an opportunity I really wanted to take up.
"I know what to expect. I’ve played at decent levels and I feel like this is the next step to get game time and prove that I can play at a higher level.
"I know Lee Hodson, Junior [Morias] and Stephen McGinn so that makes it easier in terms of settling in and I’m just looking forward to it now.
"I like to be creative and direct going forward. I can definitely score goals and that’s the main thing for me."
Jim Goodwin said: "We got some great references about him and I’m delighted to get him.
He’s a player that can link the game up, he’s got really good pace, he can get in behind and, most importantly, he’s got an eye for goal.
"He did well when he was at Falkirk but we believe that with the experience he’s had down in England since then that he’ll be coming up to Scotland as an ever better player than he was then.
"It’s another great option for us," he continued.
"Goals have been something that we have been crying out for and hopefully Alex is the man to give us that.
"We’re still trying to work on another couple and hopefully we can get at least another one in before the window closes. But the business we have done up to now has been good."
