We are delighted to announce the signing of Stephen Mallan on a one-year deal, subject to clearance.
The experienced midfielder is a well-known face in Scottish football having enjoyed successful spells with St Mirren and Hibernian, while he has also played for Barnsley, Yeni Malatyaspor and most recently Salford City.
Mallan was a trialist in our friendly against Dundee United on Tuesday and has now officially put pen to paper at McDiarmid Park.
He said: “I’m just buzzing to get back playing football. I’m thankful to St Johnstone for believing in me and I’m really looking to hit the ground running.
“I was happy with how my body felt in the friendly against Dundee United. It was a tough run-out against a team preparing for Europe – and the boys did well.
“I’m hoping to bring creativity, assists and goals. I pride myself on bringing as much as possible to help the team.
“I’m determined to show what I have got as an individual and as a team player. The time out has opened my eyes to football and how much I missed it. I’ve got real hunger to do well.
“I’ve missed waking up on a Saturday and having that feeling of getting out on the pitch with your team-mates and friends.”
You will be able to watch a full interview with Stevie on Saints TV later this afternoon.
