St Mirren Football Club is delighted to announce that Gary MacKenzie has signed a one-year contract extension.

The 33 year-old first joined Saints in July 2016 and has gone on to make 62 appearances in his three seasons at the club.

Gary has been a firm fans favourite in his time at the Buddies and was part of the Ladbrokes Championship winning side in 2017/18.

Speaking exclusively to stmirren.com, Gary said: "I'm delighted to be staying. 

"It's been in place since the end of last season and I'm glad to be back and glad to be staying.

"Hopefully we can kick on from how we finished the season. For me personally I finished the season really well and I'm looking to stay fit and play more games than I did last season.

"I'm really pleased to have been able to finish the season playing well and obviously have no injury issues.

"I was just counting down the days to get back. I joke with the lads that this is actually easier being in at work than being at home with four kids! I feel pretty good."

St Mirren Colts have been drawn to face East Kilbride at home in the first round of the Tunnock's Caramel Wafer Challenge Cup.

The winners of the tie will face Dumbarton in the second round. 

Ties are scheduled to be played 6/7 August.

St Mirren will head to Northern Ireland and Spain as part of pre-season preparations for the 2019/20 season.

Saints will face Belfast club Rosario YFC at Ulidia Playing Fields on the Ormeau Road for a 7pm kick-off on Friday, June 28 as part of our new partnership with the group. 

The Buddies will then face Oran Kearney's ex-side Coleraine at The Showgrounds on Saturday, June 29 as part of the deal that brought the manager to St Mirren last season. That match will kick-off at 2pm.

Saints then head to Murcia, Spain on Monday 1st July for a week-long training camp at the Pinatar Arena Football Centre with our partners inspiresport. 

Upon return from Spain, Oran Kearney's side will face Stenhousemuir at Ochilview Park on Tuesday 9th July with a 7:30pm kick-off ahead of our Betfred Cup opening match at home to Dunfermline on Sunday 14th July. 

Jed McCabe of inspiresport said: "I am delighted to have introduced Rosario YFC to St Mirren as I see so many similarities between the two.

"I'm also delighted to be working with St Mirren to take them away to the magnificent Pinatar Arena in Murcia as part of their pre-season preparations."

St Mirren Football Club have struck up an agreement with one of Northern Ireland’s largest football clubs, Rosario YFC, which will see the Belfast club hosting a senior match between the two clubs at Ulidia Playing Fields on the Ormeau Road as part of a gala event on 28 June.

Rosario has been a fixture in the Ballynafeigh area of south Belfast for over a century, with over 900 players now being fielded across 50 teams. The new arrangements with St Mirren FC and recent move back into Ulidia mark the next phase of their development.

St Mirren Chief Executive Tony Fitzpatrick said: "This is a fantastic opportunity for our club to have a new partnership with Rosario YFC as like ourselves they work in conjunction with the local community.

"We have welcomed some of their teams over to our Gold Award Academy for a train and play programme recently. We are absolutely delighted to be invited to play in this match. Who knows maybe one day a youth player from Rosario YFC will play for our first team."

Rosario YFC Chair Ciara Boyes said: "Rosario Football Club has been at the heart of the community on the Ormeau Road for generations, and welcomes members from many different backgrounds and nationalities, reflecting this wonderful multicultural area of Belfast.

"The partnership with St Mirren comes shortly after we moved back into the recently-renovated Ulidia Playing Fields, as we take this hugely successful club to the next level, and the friendly between the two clubs will celebrate this."

Earlier this season Rosario YFC entered into discussions with St Mirren which were facilitated by Jed McCabe from sports tour providers inspiresport.

Jed McCabe from inspiresport said: "I am delighted to have introduced Rosario YFC to St. Mirren FC as I see so many similarities between the two. They are both very family orientated and give young players their chance in the game. We offer development tours to some of the world’s top clubs and I can honestly say St. Mirren FC are up there with the very best."

The partnership between the two clubs will benefit both, with Rosario’s coaching programme being boosted by top level coaching sessions at the St Mirren FC Academy, involving organised trips for all age groups to visit the Gold Award Academy at St Mirren FC, tour the ground and play tournaments. Rosario YFC will also showcase any potential players to St Mirren FC ensure they get the best chance to start a career in football.

This match and community celebrations will take place on the 28 June at 7pm, with parking available at the nearby St Joseph’s College and Holy Rosary Church to limit traffic and parking disruption in the area around Ulidia.
