St Mirren boss Stephen Robinson says he wants to keep pushing after penning a new three-deal with the club.

The Northern Irishman, along with assistant Brian Kerr, have pledged their future to the club after leading them to three successive top six finishes – the only club outside of Rangers and Celtic to do so in the last three seasons.

And he says this is just the beginning as he looks build on the success he’s achieved since joining the club in February 2022.

“I’m glad the board have appreciated the hard work Brian and I have done over the last three years with three top six finishes,” he said.

“I feel like we’re right at the start of another process.

“There’s a lot of hard work to be done, but we’re all aiming to push it in the right direction.

“We felt it was right to commit our future with another year to continue the project that we’re doing, aim for another top six finish and keep pushing the club on and off the pitch.”

Chairman John Needham added: “We’re thrilled Stephen has extended his contract and committed his future at St Mirren for another year.

“The progress we have made as a club over the past few years has been clear to see and Stephen and his coaching team have played a large part in that.

“We want to keep building on the successes of the last three season and agreeing this new contract evidences our ambition as a club to continue that progression.”

Stephen Robinson’s first game of his new deal will see him take on Hearts in the Premier Sports Cup this weekend as he aims to guide the Buddies on a cup run.
