St Mirren Football Club is delighted to announce that Jack Baird has signed a two-year contract extension which sees him tied to the club until May 2021.

A product of the St Mirren Youth Academy, Jack made his Saints debut away to Hamilton back in 2014.

Since then the 22-year-old defender has made 144 appearances for Saints, scored six goals and was part of the Ladbrokes Championship winning side of 2017/18.

Speaking on signing his new deal, Jack said: "I’m absolutely delighted.

"I’m really happy here and when I was asked about extending my deal it was an easy decision for me.

"I’ve had some brilliant memories here and I feel I have improved a lot since I first came through.

"I’ve got a great relationship with the fans and they are always behind me.”

Oran Kearney added: "Jack has made nearly 150 appearances behind him and he’s still at a tender age to be fair.

"His best years are still to come. There’s a huge amount of football in him and he has done really well to date.

"He’s only going to get better with age so I think it’s important that we tie players like that down."

Additional Information for Travelling Fans

St Mirren Football Club is delighted to announce the loan signing of Laurențiu Corbu from Dinamo Bucharest subject to international clearance.

The 24 year-old Romanian defender joins up with his former Bucharest teammate Mihai Popescu at Saints until the end of the season with the Buddies having an option to make the deal permanent in the summer.

Following the announcement of Duckens Nazon earlier tonight, Laurențiu becomes Saints' 10th signing of the January window. 

St Mirren Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of striker Duckens Nazon on loan until the end of the season.

The 24 year-old Haitian international joins the Buddies from Belgian Pro League side Sint-Truiden.

Born in Paris, Duckens began his career in France playing for the likes of Roye-Noyon, Olympique Saint-Quentin and Stade Lavallois before joining Kerala Blasters in 2016. 

The striker left the Indian side to join Wolverhampton Wanderers in January 2017. While at the Midlands club, Duckens had loan spells at Oldham and Coventry where he scored 14 goals across his time at both clubs. That led to a permanent move to Sint-Truiden in the summer of 2018.

Duckens has been prolific at international level having scored 15 goals in 24 caps for Haiti.

St Mirren manager Oran Kearney said: "I think all supporters have been crying out for someone who will play that number nine role. He has really good qualities, carrying the ball and physically as well.

"He is very powerful and we have probably lacked that physical presence up-front to help Simeon Jackson and others who have played up there. We feel like getting someone like Duckens on board will be a massive help.

"We’ve done a huge amount of work on it. It’s been very much one of patience and we have said all along that we would rather wait to try and get the right players in than sign for the sake of signing.

"There’s a hunger from him to get over and get playing again. He is a Haiti international but has lived and played in England for a few years and that was important for us."

St Mirren Football Club can announce that Brian Rice has departed the club to join Hamilton Academical as their new head coach.

Brian joined Saints from Inverness as assistant manager in June 2018. 

All at St Mirren would like to thank Brian for his time and efforts at the club and wish him all the best in his future career. 

St Mirren make the trip along the M8 next month to face Hearts in the Ladbrokes Premiership.
