David Goodwillie made his United debut two seasons ago

The 18-year-old broke into the United first team two seasons ago, scoring once in 10 appearances.

But, despite 17 appearances last term, mainly from the bench for the Scottish Premier League outfit, he failed to add to his tally.

And, having made just two appearances this term, Goodwillie will remain with the Second Division title chasers in Kirkcaldy until January.
