Offord back at St Mirren after Crusaders loan spell

Kieran Offord has returned to St Mirren after a successful loan spell with Irish Premiership side Crusaders.

The 20-year-old striker joined the Crues last summer and scored 10 goals in 21 games for the Seaview team.

Offord moved on a season-long loan but St Mirren have activated a recall option on the forward.

"The club would like to express our gratitude to Kieran for his contributions during his time with us," said Crusaders on Monday.

"His efforts on and off the pitch have been greatly appreciated, and we wish him all the very best for the remainder of the season.

"We would also like to extend our thanks to St Mirren FC for facilitating the loan and for their cooperation throughout the process. Kieran departs with our best wishes for his future success."
