Finally, some good news for the St Mirren faithful as gaffer Stephen Robinson pens a one-year contract extension making his current deal run until 2027. Following former assistant boss Diarmuid O’Carroll’s departure, a run of disappointing results and some off the field antics resulting in a mutual agreement to terminate the contract of defender Shaun Rooney. A bit of stability could go a long way in reigniting the clubs’ feel good factor. Robinson, highly regarded by both the St Mirren board and fans stated:
“I felt it was the right time to commit and hopefully keep moving in the right direction. We’ve got a lot of belief in the club, what we do and I’m happy to try and push the place forward”
This positive step is hopefully the continuation of a mostly successful spell as the Paisley side’s boss. Two consecutive top six finishes alongside a European journey in the Conference League has the Irishman held in high regard by St Mirren bosses and they are happy to have their man tied down on a longer contract.
Chairman John Needham commented:
“We’ve been making real strides with our strategy to build the club’s strength and stability, and Stephen has clearly played a key role in that. Extending his contract at this time reflects our ambition to maintain the levels of success we’ve enjoyed on the park over recent seasons.”
