Eric signed for the club from Leicester City after having spells with Dundee United, Hereford, Southend and Dundee (loan).

He made his Leicester debut in a Carling Cup-tie with Aston Villa is 2006 and can play through the middle or wide left. Made his debut for the club as a substitute in the no-scoring draw against Celtic in Inverness and made his full debut in a Scottish Cup win over Kilmarnock.

Fast, direct and very clever footballer he missed a few games in the league run-in due to injury. He then signed a one-year contract in June to remain with the club after it's relegation to the First Division. A metatarsal injury kept him out of the side for about three and a half months but he returned to action at the beginning of November 2009 against Ross County in Dingwall and featured in nearly every game until the end of our championship-winning season.

Managed to find the back of the net on five occasions last term. His turn of speed can catch out opposition defences on the day. Signed a new one-year contract at the club in it's first season back in the SPL and he's also been scoring very important goals, like the two which defeated St Mirren and also the equaliser against Rangers at Ibrox.

    New manager makes his point: Other results hadn't done us any favours this weekend with the 6 teams above us all picking up points which made it just that little bit more important that we got something from todays game. A couple of injuries, players…
