St Mirren Football Club is delighted to announce that manager Stephen Robinson has agreed a new contract that will keep him at the club until summer 2028.
The Northern Irishman, who took charge of Saints in February 2022, has guided the club to three consecutive top six finishes in the William Hill Premiership in his three full seasons in charge, in turn achieving our best top-flight seasons since the 1980s.
In 2024, Robinson led St Mirren back to the European stage – qualifying for the UEFA Conference League after securing our highest league finish since 1985.
We can confirm that Assistant Manager Brian Kerr has also agreed a new contract alongside the manager.
Manager Stephen Robinson said: "I’m delighted to sign the new contract.
"I’m glad the board have appreciated the hard work that Brian and I have done over the last three years with three top six finishes.
"It’s been an incredible achievement for the whole group of staff at the football club – both on and off the pitch.
I feel like we’re right at the start of another process.
"There’s a lot of hard work to be done, but we’re all aiming to push it in the right direction. I always use the phrase ‘anything that makes the boat go forward’ and I’m surrounded by people that are doing that to the best of their ability.
"Jim Gillespie, Keith Lasley, everyone the board and every single person at the football club are striving to make it better.
"We all want to make it happen quicker, but we don’t have a never-ending amount of money, so we have to do it with hard work and diligence. Everyone is pushing the football club in the right place.
"We felt it was right to commit our future with another year to continue the project that we’re doing, aim for another top six finish and keep pushing the football club on and off the pitch."
St Mirren Chairman John Needham added: "We’re thrilled that Stephen has extended his contract and committed his future at St Mirren for another year.
"The progress we have made as a club over the past few years has been clear to see and Stephen and his coaching team have played a large part in that.
We want to keep building on the successes of the last three seasons and agreeing this new contract evidences our ambition as a club to continue that progression."
