After impressing in the Caribbean, Samuel moved to Scotland in 2002, joining Falkirk, scoring 11 goals in 34 games in the First Division.

After his contract expired a move to Canada with Toronto followed in 2007 but a year later he was back in Scotland, signing for St Johnstone where he helped the Saints win promotion to the Premier League in 2009/10.

Gary Brabin told the club's website: "I'm delighted to welcome Collin to the club.

"I'm looking forward to working with him. Collin has a good pedigree, is a strong, versatile player.

"He's able to play anywhere across the attacking positions, is an international and will give us a different dimension."

He will wear squad number 23.
