St Mirren Football Club can confirm that Caolan Boyd-Munce has agreed a one-year contract extension.
The 23-year-old midfielder joined Saints in March on a deal until the end of the season and the club has taken up the option to extend that until summer 2024 with an appearance-based option for another year.
The Northern Irishman – who began his career at Glentoran and had spells at Birmingham City and Middlesbrough – made three appearances for the Buddies last season with his first start coming in Saturday's match against Rangers at The SMiSA Stadium.
Speaking to stmirren.com, manager Stephen Robinson said: "Caolan was never going to come into the first team fold straight away because he hadn’t played for a long time.
What we could see three months ago, he is now starting to achieve. Sometimes, that gamble is worthwhile.
"He's different from what we have. He will find passes and put people through on goal as he gets fitter and stronger. We believe that come August/September, he has a real chance of starting games for us and pushing on. There's so much more to come from him.
"He's a conscientious boy," the manager continued.
"He will come back fitter and stronger and we've seen that from the period he's been in here.
"The option for a different type of midfielder who is similar to an Ethan Erhahon makes us stronger as a squad."
