St Mirren Football Club is delighted to announce that Josh Todd has agreed a one-year contract extension. 

The midfielder joined the club in January after leaving Dumbarton and went on to make 11 appearances scoring once. 

He joins Adam Eckersley and Jack Baird in extending their stay at the Buddies.

Speaking to stmirren.com, Todd said: "It's good that the manager has seen something in me over the last six months. I'm happy to get it done and ready to kick on.

"The way we finished the season - staying up - I just can't wait to get started and try to get in the team and stay in the team. 

"I want to put my stamp on the game, try to get goals for the team and hopefully be a part of something special."

St Mirren Football Club can announce that Stephen Mallan will leave the club to sign for English Championship side Barnsley.

The 21 year-old made his Saints debut in a 3-0 loss to Hamilton Academical back in November 2014.

Since then the youth academy graduate has gone on to make 112 appearances for the Buddies scoring 29 times and playing a pivotal role in securing St Mirren’s league status this season.

He joins the Yorkshire side on a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

Chief Executive Tony Fitzpatrick said: "I understand supporters will be sad to see Stevie go but we feel it is the right time. Stevie has played over 100 games for the club and deserves a chance to prove himself down in England.

"Without going into the specifics of the deal, with a year left on his contract, it’s a good offer for the club and one we will hopefully benefit from a few years down the line also."

All at St Mirren Football Club wish Stephen the best on his move.

Jack Baird admits he almost wanted the season to keep going as he was enjoying his football so much. 

The Buddies stopper came back into the team in March and started the final nine games of the season as Saints secured survival, ending the campaign in seventh.

And, after signing a one-year contract extension last week, the 21 year-old says he's happy to be back on board for next season.

I'm delighted," he said. "As soon as the season ended and I had spoken with the manager I was delighted to get it signed and get sorted before the summer started. 

"You're happy to get a couple of weeks off but you want to be playing football. If you didn't want to play all the time you wouldn't be a footballer.

"We want to get a good start and it would be nice to get a couple of wins at the beginning."

St Mirren secured their status in the Ladbrokes Championship with a final day draw against Hibernian at Easter Road.

While the defender knows there was a lot of pressure on the team, he believes there was a confidence about them that they could stay up.

Obviously when the whistle goes against Hibs you are delighted to be safe," he said.

"But in a way I wanted to play more games because I felt like I had found a bit of form in the push to keep us in the league.

"You want it to be finished because you know the club is safe but for myself I wanted to play a few more games. 

"As the games were going on, as a team, when we were winning we knew we could do it.

"As soon as that whistle went it was more relief than celebration and a big weight off our shoulders. You're feeling a lot of pressure.

"When it's happening it's a very stressful time. But when you look back at it you'll struggle to find a better feeling than coming from the position we were to the position we finished in.

"We were always quite quietly confident," he continued. "We have players that can win you a match at any time and that's key. We were never going to doubt ourselves because we had a good squad."

The academy graduate impressed Jack Ross enough to earn himself a new deal and Baird praised the gaffer and James Fowler for the job they have done since coming into the club in October.

He's made a massive difference to the team and me personally. I feel like I have improved as a player since he and James Fowler have come in. The two of them have made a massive difference."

St Mirren midfielder Kyle Magennis has been called up to the Scotland U20s for the upcoming Toulon Tournament in France. 

The 18 year-old academy graduate made his Saints debut against Hibernian in October 2016 before going on to make 32 appearances for the Buddies.

His form for the side earned his St Mirren's Young Player of the Year for 2016/17 and he'll now represent Scot Gemmill's side for the first time in May/June.

Congratulations Kyle!

May 16th 1987, a date no St Mirren fan will forget, especially if you were at Hampden Park that sunny day! So to commemorate the occasion we've brought together Tony Fitzpatrick and lifelong fan and St Mirren TV co-commentator Chris Gilgallon to discuss their memories of the day from their own point of view.

Tony as club captain and Chris as a supporter taking his family to Hampden to cheer on the Buddies. They take us through the early rounds, the build up to the game, as well as their feelings when Ian Ferguson fired home the winner and of course the celebrations afterwards! 

'Our Final', was made in association with staff at the University of the West of Scotland, the film is a great way to finish off our second successful season working with UWS on St Mirren TV.

Tony said: "It lifted my whole day, I never get tired of talking about the final, great memories."

For Chris it was a dream come true to be sat with one of his heroes talking about their shared memories of that great day.

As a lifelong fan knowing what Tony means to the club and to the fans it was a privilege to share our experiences of the day."

Film maker Jamie Hare from the UWS Studio Team had the idea of bringing the pair together.

I actually grew up in Kinghorn Drive, the road that leads to Hampden and can vividly remember hanging about outside the stadium before the game and all the fans descending on the area so it brought back some good memories for me too.

"Hopefully St Mirren fans enjoy hearing what they have to say and can relate in particular to what Chris did as it'll possibly be similar to their own day."

Would members of The North End Travel Club please note that the Travel Club's AGM will be held in the Brewer's Tap this coming Saturday (20th May).

The North End Travel Club has asked that anyone who enquired about joining that they should feel free to attend also as they look to take in some new members for next season.

The AGM will start at 1:30pm.

St Mirren Football Club can announce that Jamie Langfield has signed a one-year contract extension.

The 37 year-old joined his boyhood side in 2015 as a player/goalkeeping coach, going on to make 52 appearances for the Buddies.

Manager Jack Ross said: "We were impressed with Jamie's coaching in the last part of the season. We felt that he really improved as a coach and were impressed with the job he did improving Billy O'Brien and the other young goalkeepers.

"While he will be registered as a player we are very much looking to bring in some goalkeepers and Jamie's main focus next season will be on the coaching side of things."

Kyle Magennis thanked manager Jack Ross for showing faith in him after he was named St Mirren's Young Player of the Year. 

The 18 year-old has been a revelation in the black and white since making his Saints debut at Easter Road back in October. 

Since then he's gone on to make 28 starts for the Buddies, scoring three goals in the process. 

Speaking to stmirren.com at the Celebration Dinner, Magennis admits it was a great feeling to pick up the accolade and he wants to go for Player of the Year next season. 

Yeah it's brilliant," he said. "For me it's been a brilliant year so to get these awards has just topped it off and hopefully I can go for player of the year next year.

"It's been crazy. Playing with the 20s at the start of the season I could never have imagined it.

"The gaffer showed good faith in me. At the time the club wasn't in the best position and he could have looked for experience, but he's put me in and trusted me. 

"I feel I've grown immensely over the season. I feel like I could go into any team and fit in. The boys have been fantastic and they've really made me feel a part of it all even though I'm younger."

The midfielder believes the aim for the team next season should be to challenge for promotion to the Ladbrokes Premiership.

The Buddies brilliant run from January until the end of the season saw them avoid relegation despite being rooted to the bottom by nine points at one stage.

And Magennis says that form proves that Saints are up there with the best in the Championship. 

The aim is promotion and to win the league hopefully.

"We've shown from the turn of the year that we are one of the best teams in the league so why not?

"Hopefully the gaffer will bring in a few new players and we'll strengthen even more."

The Young Player of the Year award wasn't the only one he scooped as he shared Goal of the Season with Stevie Mallan thanks to his strike in the win over Queen of the South in December.

While the teen was quick to praise Mallan's effort, he confessed his own was particularly memorable to him.

Mallan's was better," he said. "But mine was special, my first goal, and it came from my left foot which is my weaker foot."
