Hinchcliffe was linked with the move a few weeks ago, however Gus MacPherson said there was no way he would risk only having two goalkeepers - Chris Smith and Tony Bullock - in the first team squad. It seems that something has changed his mind.
Hinchliffe is the fourth Saint to go out on loan this season: Brian McGinty is at Dundee, John Baird is at Stenhousemuir whilst Marc McAusland had a spell at Stranraer.
