Trevor Carson has penned a one-year extension to his current contract at St Mirren.

The Northern Irishman has agreed to a deal that will see the goalkeeper stay put at the SMISA Stadium until the summer of 2025.

The experienced goalkeeper joined St Mirren in May 2022 from fellow Premiership rivals Dundee United.

Carson has fully established himself as the Buddies' number one with nine clean sheets in 31 appearances this season.

With his original deal due to expire in the summer of 2024, St Mirren has moved to extend Carson’s contract by a further year. 

Carson said: "I'm really enjoying my time here. I know how the manager works and if you do well for him he'll reward you.

"He called me out of the blue and asked me how I'd feel about extending for an extra year on top of the year I had left and it was a no-brainer for me. Overall I'm just feeling delighted. 

"It was a gamble coming here because, as a family, we had made the decision to move back down south and I had offers there. But the manager rang me and he's a hard man to say no to. 

"Any doubts I had about signing quickly moved to the side. The lads have been great, the club is great and I felt settled after about two weeks here. It was an easy decision for me to stay.

"It's great to play every week. All I wanted was a chance and thankfully I've been able to keep my place. My form has been consistent and now the gaffer has rewarded me for that with an extra year."

The Buddies No.1 also paid tribute to goalkeeping coach Jamie Langfield for his role during his success in Paisley. 

He added: "Langers has been amazing. I'm not getting any younger and I've had some bad injuries over the last few years, but the way he's been able to manage me and make me feel 100% on a Saturday is a testament to him and Gerry [Docherty] the physio." 

"He's been exceptional to work with personally as well as getting me ready to play on a Saturday."

Stephen Robinson commented: "I think it’s important to keep the players that are going to continue taking us forward and give them a little bit of security.

"It’s important to keep building on this squad and Trevor is an international goalkeeper.

"He’s been superb this season and is someone that I have worked with for a long time and trust implicitly. I wanted to make sure he had a bit of security and the club felt the exact same."
