St Mirren Football Club is delighted to confirm that it has taken up the option to extend Conor McMenamin’s contract until summer 2026.
The Northern Ireland international joined the club in July 2023 from Glentoran on an initial two-year deal with the club holding an option to extend for a further year. The club has now exercised that option and Conor will remain at Saints next season.
While it's been a frustrating season for the winger, who has missed a chunk of the campaign through injury, Conor has managed three goals in his 10 appearances in 2024/25 which included a double in our 2-1 win away to Hibernian in November as well as our second equaliser in the 2-2 draw against Rangers at The SMiSA Stadium at the end of April.
All in, Conor has made 42 appearances for Saints across his two seasons at the club.
Speaking to stmirren.com, Conor: "I'm really happy here and I’m glad to get the deal done.
"I’ve been injured, but when I’ve come back I’ve felt good. Obviously the hard work I’ve done in the gym with Gerry [Docherty] has paid off. It's probably the best I’ve felt since I’ve been here, on the back of such a hard season.
Obviously I feel like I can contribute to the team a lot and I’ve shown that lately. I’m just eager to get back on the pitch and do well for the boys.
"I’m looking forward to getting a good pre-season, which I missed last year with the surgery on my knee, so hopefully I can come back strong, get a full pre-season and start the season well.
We’ve consistently been a top six team in this league and we don’t settle on that. The consistency levels here, being one of the top six teams in this league, made me want to stay. Hopefully we can do it again next season."
Manager Stephen Robinson said: "We just wanted Conor fit again.
"We know what a talent he is. He's the maverick in the team that we probably haven't had at stages this season. He creates goals and you can see the impact he's made since he's come back.
We're absolutely delighted to have him back for another year and if we can keep him fit then we have a really special talent on our hands.
To have him fit and contracted again with the chance to have a full pre-season under his belt is really exciting for us.
"We have a good base," the manager continued.
"I know what needs to improve and we know what areas we're looking at. You look all over the squad and see what we can try to make better."
