Craig Storie admits he can't wait for Saturday's match against Dunfermline Athletic after he trained with Saints for the first time this morning.
The midfielder has joined the Buddies on loan from Ladbrokes Premiership side Aberdeen until the end of the season and is hoping to make a mark in his time at the Paisley 2021 Stadium.
Speaking to stmirren.com, Storie says he's excited about the prospect of first team and wants to show the ability he has.
I'm really looking forward to it and getting some game time," he said. "Hopefully I can bring something to the team and see where it takes us.
"I've waited a long time for first team football and hopefully I can get it here and show what I can do.
"I like getting the ball down and playing, tackling, bringing the ball back into possession.
"I can't wait," he said of the Dunfermline game this weekend. "I was buzzing to come in here today and hoping that Saturday comes around sooner.
Storie says that Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes had been encouraging him to go on loan and the midfielder feels that Saints was the perfect place for that.
He's been trying to get me out on loan for a while but I thought St Mirren was the right place to be.
"I've come here to try and get some football and hopefully time will tell."
And despite The Buddies current league position, the 20 year-old believes he's ready for the challenge ahead.
It's obviously going to be difficult," he admitted. "But I feel like I can take it in my stride and prove that to the gaffer and help lift the team from the position."
