The news comes from The Official Site. I know absolutely nothing about Ellis, but Saints boss John Coughlin says he can play in a vairety of positions, mainly defence. The Raith Rovers websites say he has played left back for them, so he could be the left sided defender for the back three we need.
Whether Ellis would have signed if the Mark Campbell deal hadn't fallen through is unknown. Raith fans seem sorry to lose him, so hopefully he'll be good for Saints.
MEanwhile, Coughlin is running out of time with Martin Cameron. The striker has yet to sign a new contract, and his contract has now expired. Cameron claims he'd love to sign for Saints, but can't get hold of his agent!
