Kane was one of three St Johnstone players to sign a short term six-month contract extension in May 2020, as the club formulated plans amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.[4]

Loan spells[]

In January 2014, Kane signed for Scottish Championship club Dumbarton on a one-month loan deal,[5] scoring on his debut as the Sons defeated Greenock Morton 2–0 on 4 January 2014.[6] On 31 January 2014, his loan was extended until the end of that season.[7] On 29 August 2014, Kane returned to Dumbarton on loan once again, agreeing a deal until January 2015.[8] Kane scored the winner on his second debut for the Sons versus Livingston[9]

On 10 August 2017, Kane along with his teammate Jason Kerr joined Scottish Championship club Queen of the South on loan until 31 January 2018.[10] On 14 January 2018, Kane was recalled to the Perth club when his loan spell in Dumfries with the Doonhamers ended.[11]
