St Mirren have signed Nicolai Brock-Madsen from Birmingham City in a six-month loan deal.

The 25-year-old striker heads to Paisley from the English Championship side until January 2019, with an option to extend the contract until the end of the season.

Brock-Madsen, who will wear the number nine jersey for Saints, joined Birmingham from Danish club Randers FC in 2015.

He has had loan spells at PEC Zwolle, in the Netherlands, and Polish outfit Cracovia during his time with the English club and has been capped by Denmark from under-18 to under-23 levels.

Speaking to stmirren.com, Brock-Madsen said: "I’m happy to be here. I’m looking forward to starting and I’m really excited.

"The fans can expect a really hard-working player and, of course, I’m here to score goals. I’m a big lad and I feel like I have good pace."

St Mirren manager Alan Stubbs is confident Brock-Madsen will be a useful addition to his squad.

Stubbs said: "He’s got qualities we feel that can add to what we’ve already got.

"He’s a big lad, he’ll hold the ball up and he’s got a good pedigree so, from that point of view, it’s a good addition to the squad.

"He gives us that physical aspect up top, which is important and we are going to need."

Brock-Madsen will be in the St Mirren squad for Sunday's league match against Rangers at Ibrox.

Stubbs added: "He’s fit enough. He’s been training with Birmingham, so we don’t really have any issues."
