THOMAS BUTLER SIGNS FOR PARS

The solution to the Pars poor form?

After impressing on a week-long trial, ex-Sunderland winger Thomas Butler has put pen-to-paper on an extended deal at the Pars, keeping the Irishman at the club until January.

With the Pars lacking width, the signing of Butler could go a long to helping supply the Pars strikeforce - a strikeforce which has been somewhat starved of chances so far this season.

After concluding the deal in time for Saturday's game, Butler is likely to feature on the bench for the Pars against Motherwell tomorrow (Saturday).
