St Mirren Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Mikael Mandron on a two-year contract subject to clearance.
The French forward joins Saints following the expiry of his contract at fellow cinch Premiership side Motherwell.
The 28-year-old has spent most of his career in England with spells at the likes of Sunderland, Wigan, Colchester United, Crewe Alexandra and Gillingham before making the move up north with Motherwell in January 2023.
It comes after the announcement that Northern Ireland international Conor McMenamin joined the club yesterday afternoon.
Speaking to stmirren.com, Mikael said: "I feel great. I'm very happy to be here.
"I know what the league is about and I know how football is played here. I've really enjoyed life and football in Scotland so that was a big reason for me joining.
I'll bring experience and I'm an honest, hard-working player. I think I'll bring good energy to the squad as well and hopefully I can bring goals and wins to the team."
Manager Stephen Robinson said: "We’re delighted to welcome Mikael to the club.
"We’ve searched for a target man all summer to replace Curtis Main and we feel he’ll be a good replacement for Curtis. He’s someone I’ve watched at both Crewe and Gillingham and he’ll bring us experience and a real physical presence.
"We have a lot of quick forwards in the likes of Alex Greive, Toyosi Olusanya, Stav Nahamani, Conor McMenamin, Lewis Jamieson and Kieran Offord and we feel Mikael will be the perfect foil for those types of players.
"He had a difficult time at Motherwell with a niggling injury but we’re confident he will play a big part for us going forward."
