Last updated : 13 January 2006 By Steve Forbes

Hibs striker Sam Morrow is a January transfer window target for 1st Division side St. Johnstone.

The Northern Ireland U-21 hit man, has reportedly been interesting St. Johnstone manager Owen Coyle for some time. It is thought Coyle is after Morrow on loan until the end of the season, with a view to a possible permanent transfer.

Morrow, 21, has struggled to break into the Hibs team ,after joining from Ipswich Town in 2004, due to the form of the deadly strike force of Derek Riordan & Gary O'Connor, the pair having scored over 100 goals between them in just over 2 seasons.

Morrow has played 39 games for Hibs, 29 from the bench and has scored 3 goals.

It's just what Morrow needs, some first team football, to prove his worth at Hibs!
