Balk was in the stands to watch Liam Buckley’s side draw 1-1 with Galway United last week and featured during the Saints’ friendly win over Hearts on Wednesday evening.
The centre back came through the youth ranks at Utrecht before moving to Scotland in August 2014 where he spent four months with Ross County.
Balk’s arrival at Richmond Park follows Buckley’s recruitment of Killian Brennan and former Ipswich and Crystal Palace midfielder Owen Garvan, while Pat Cregg has left the club.
