Fleetwood Town have signed St Johnstone defender Shaun Rooney on a two-year deal.

The 25-year-old helped Saints retain their Premiership status, with goals in both legs of their 6-2 play-off final win over Inverness.

He is new Fleetwood boss Scott Brown's first signing as a manager.

"I've played against him many times and know he's a real winner who has determination and will put his body on the line," Brown told the club website.

Scored 4th goal in injury time. Ripped his shirt off. Ref's approaching him with the yellow card and he does the old celebration wave thingy in front of him.
