Do you own a house within Renfrewshire and think you would be able to accommodate our youth development players aged between 16 and 19 years old?
St Mirren Football Club continues to cultivate local national and international talent to achieve the best results possible. The club wants to welcome development players and have them stay in top conditions close by to the St Mirren Training Complex in Paisley.
Learn more by emailing a covering letter with contact details and suitability for the role to: allan.mcmanus@stmirren.com
Location
Accommodation must be a short distance to the club’s Training Complex at Bathgo Avenue, Ralston, PA1 3EA and have easy access to public transport.
Accommodation requirements
- One double bedroom/twin room
- Access to WiFi, storage and a TV
- Personal space for their evening meals and personal laundry
The young players require a good quality home environment on either a temporary or full-time basis. The requirement ranges from hosting trialists for several days or weeks at a time, to longer term placements for up to 48 weeks per year, for several nights per week. This may also involve players who require permanent accommodation from further afield choosing to play at St Mirren.
All we ask from you is to provide a safe, welcoming and homely environment for our young players. You will play your part in nurturing the development players as they transition from youth football to professional football and help them rest and recuperate after a day’s training or school. This can be a difficult time for young players settling into a different city or country and you can make all the difference.
Reimbursement
We require host families who are flexible, committed and understand that there may be times when a room is not required, or a room is needed at short notice.
The football club recognises the commitment required from the family and will pay an all-inclusive payment which covers all the costs of the arrangement when a young player has been placed.

Regular checks may be undertaken by the football club. The players will be issued with guidelines for living with host families, to manage their expectations as will the host families be issued with guidelines.
