St Mirren Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Ryan Carr until summer 2028.
The midfielder signs with Saints on an initial two-year deal, with the club holding an option of a further year, following the expiry of his contract at Ipswich Town.
The 21-year-old, capped by Scotland at U21 level, began his career at Carlisle United before winning a move to Ipswich Town in January 2023. Ryan furthered his football development with loan spells at Aveley, Gateshead and Ebbsfleet United before agreeing to sign a permanent deal with Saints.
Ryan told stmirren.com: "I’m very happy to get signed.
"I’ve had a couple of good conversations with the manager. What he’s trying to build here is something really exciting and I want to be a part of it.
Fans can expect that I will give 100% in every game. I’m energetic, hard-working, love both sides of the game in possession and defending. Goals and assists are something I like to chip in with as well."
"I’ve settled in well. All the boys and staff have been brilliant with me."
On the signing, St Mirren manager Craig McLeish said: "Ryan was brought to my attention by Gavin [Miller].
"Gavin really liked him from watching him at Ipswich U21s and I then watched his footage from the Scotland U21s. I spoke to people that knew him, coaches, staff and players that worked with him at the U21 level.
I think the fans will love his energy and his tenacity in the middle of the pitch and he can handle the ball really well too.
"He’s one that we're really excited about. He’s someone that's at a really good age that needs a platform to go and kick on and hopefully we can help him get to the levels that he wants to get to in the game.
"I've loved the short spell of time that I've had to spend with him and I’m really looking forward to getting to know him better and to see him on the pitch."
