St Mirren Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Shamal George on loan until the end of the season.

The goalkeeper joins for the remainder of the campaign from Wycombe Wanderers with the English League One side retaining the option to recall in January.

Shamal is no stranger to Scottish football having made 80 appearances for Livingston before moving to the Chairboys in summer 2024.

The 27-year-old began his career at Liverpool with spells at Carlisle United, Tranmere Rovers and Colchester United before signing for Livingston in 2022 where he kept 22 clean sheets.

Manager Stephen Robinson said: "Shamal is someone we've looked at for a number of years and unfortunately had been unable to get him in the two attempts we made. 

"Shamal comes with real experience of this league after his time at Livingston. We think he can be an instant number one at this level. 

"We can get Peter Urminsky out on loan and we believe that will really develop him as he needs games. Shamal will have real competition from Ryan Mullen for that number one spot."

St Mirren Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Miguel Freckleton on a deal until summer 2027 subject to international clearance.

The six-foot-four defender pens a two-year contract with the Buddies to join from English Championship side Sheffield United.

The 21-year-old, who has also had loan spells at Wealdstone, Yeovil Town and Chesterfield, spent last season on loan at English League Two side Swindon Town where he made 32 appearances for the Robins.

Manager Stephen Robinson said: "Miguel is someone whose career we have watched develop.

"We feel that he is someone similar to Richard Taylor. He's got good attributes and is really quick. He's still got lots to learn, but at 21 he's played nearly 100 games and we'll continue to work with him. 

He's someone who will get better with more football and will become a big asset for ourselves."

Miguel's home and away kits for season 2025/26 are available to sponsor now. To sponsor, please contact commercial@stmirren.com.

St Mirren Football Club is delighted to confirm the signing of Jalmaro Calvin from Jamaican Premier League side Cavalier FC subject to visa approval.

The forward pens a two-year deal with Saints that will keep him contracted until summer 2027. The club holds the option to extend for a further year.

The 22-year-old, who scored 39 goals in 101 appearances for Cavalier and featured in the Concacaf Champions Cup, joins up with his former teammate Richard King.

St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson said: "Jalmaro was a player that kept coming up every time we looked at Richard.

"We’ve built up a really good relationship with Cavalier and their owner Rudolph Speed.

Jalmaro has real pace and energy. He can play wide and he can play through the middle.

"We need to build him up. He’s a project for us in terms of getting him used to the Scottish game and the physicality, but his electric pace will give us something that we don’t have in the squad at this time.

"He reminds me of Toyosi Olusanya in terms of that raw pace that he can offer us in the wide areas."

Jalmaro will wear the number 17 shirt this season, while fellow new signing Tunmise Sobowale has been assigned number 19.

St Mirren Football Club is delighted to announce that we have secured a pre-contract agreement for Cork City winger Malik Dijksteel.

The 24-year-old will join up with Stephen Robinson’s side on a two-and-a-half-year deal in January following the expiry of his contract with the League of Ireland side.

Born in the Netherlands, Malik came through the academy at Feyenoord where he played alongside the likes of Jurrien Timber and Joshua Zirkzee.

He moved to the UK in 2021 where he joined Middlesbrough before signing with Irish side Cork City in 2023 via spells at Whitby Town and Wrexham. Malik has made 41 appearances and scored five goals during his time in Ireland.

Manager Stephen Robinson said: "Malik is a player that we have kept tabs on over the last six months.

He’s a real bright spark in the final third. He’s quick, direct, takes players on and I think the fans will really take to him given how exciting he is."

We look forward to welcoming Malik to the club.

It rained goals on a wet day in Paisley as Saints put eight past Annan Athletic in the Premier Sports Cup.

The Buddies made a blistering start, rattling in three goals inside the opening 10 minutes. Killian Phillips helped himself to a brace – including a spectacular opener – with Mikael Mandron also on target.

However, two goals from Myles Gaffney either side of the break must have had the League Two side fancying their chances of pulling off an incredible fightback. They were soon ended by Richard King's penalty and late on Mandron scored either side of Jayden Richardson's goal to complete his hat-trick before Roland Idowu rounded off the scoring.

Saints handed a debut to goalie Ryan Mullen and defender Richard King made his first start in the black and white stripes. Skipper Mark O'Hara returned from suspension with Fraser Taylor joining him in midfield, Mikael Mandron and and Scott Tanser also back in the side. Peter Urminsky, Jayden Richardson, Alex Iacovitti, Roland Idowu, Oisin Smith and Declan John all dropped to the bench. Saints League Cup winning hero Paul McGowan started for the visitors, as did fellow ex-Buddie Josh Todd.

Saints showed they meant business from the start, O'Hara having a shot deflected wide inside the first 60 seconds. The home fans only had to wait a few minutes more for the opener, some nice passing play setting up  Phillips to curl one into the top corner from 20 yards. It was the same player who doubled Saints' lead with less than seven minutes on the clock, this time Phillips exchanging passes with Mandron before slotting past Gio Clarke.

The Irishman let someone else get the next goal, Taylor driving into acres of space before sliding a pass through for Mandron to fire home the third inside 10 minutes.

Clarke saved from the Frenchman as Saints looked for a fourth, Conor McMenamin clipping the bar with a fine long range effort before shooting just wide after being teed up by Jonah Ayunga.

Saints had dominated proceedings but a stark reminder that they weren't going to have things all their own way came less than 10 minutes before the break. A fine pass from Paul Smith found Myles Gaffney and he tucked it away to the delight of the band of visiting supporters behind the opposite goal. Ayunga almost restored the three goal cushion in the final seconds of the half but his header was easily saved by Clarke.

That was the forward's last involvement as he and Tanser were replaced at the break by Roland Idowu and Declan John, the latter forcing Clarke to make a save at his near post as hostilities resumed. Alex Gogic went close with a spectacular overhead kick before Annan pulled another one back, trialist Gaffney doing his chances of winning a contract no harm at all when he headed in Paul Smith's corner.

Any Annan fans dreaming of a comeback were given a rude awakening moments later when Phillips was upended in the box and Saints were awarded a penalty, King sending Clarke the wrong way from the spot as he marked his first Buddies start with a goal. That proved to be the end of Phillips' hat-trick hopes as he, McMenamin and Gogic were replaced by Richardson, Iacovitti and James Scott before play resumed.

The Buddies then bettered their earlier goal spree by finding the net four times in the final 10 minutes. It started when a tremendous cross-field past from Marcus Fraser found John at the back post and his cross was finished off by Mandron before tremendous trickery from Richardson allowed him to follow King by marking his home debut with a goal. Moments later Mandron got his hat-trick, collecting Idowu's pass before slotting the ball beyond Clarke's reach and into the bottom corner. The striker returned the favour in stoppage time, Mandron setting up Idowu for Saints' eighth and final goal.

St Mirren Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Tunmise Sobowale from Swindon Town.

The 26-year-old right wing-back becomes our latest summer signing as he joins Saints on a two-year deal that keeps him at the club until summer 2027. 

Born in Ireland, Tunmise began his career at his hometown club Waterford. He would move to Spain in 2018 to join Hércules before returning to Ireland with Finn Harps.

Tunmise rejoined Waterford in 2020 where he played with Roland Idowu and Richard Taylor. His form at the Irish side saw him win a move to Shrewsbury Town where he again played with Idowu, before joining Swindon Town last summer where he made 44 appearances. 

Speaking to stmirren.com after completing his signing, Tunmise said: "I’m really excited.

I spoke to the gaffer and saw how close everyone is and how tight it is as a club. That was something I loved to see and I’m excited to be a part of it.

"I’ve spoken to some players that were previously here and they’ve had nothing but good things to say about the club.

"I think it is the perfect place for me to play my football right now and to enjoy it. I want to now do the best I can for myself and the club."

Manager Stephen Robinson added: "We believe Tunmise has real quality in terms of his athleticism, his pace and his energy.

"He’s coming in to compete with Jayden [Richardson] for a place in the team. He can play at right-sided centre-half or as a real attacking right wing-back with his pace. It’s another bit of competition which we need in the squad."
