O'Halloran Signs New Two Year Contract

Michael, 30, in his third spell at Saints, played an integral part in the Cup double success and top-six finish to bring European football back to Perth.

The former Scotland under-21 man had offers from other SPFL Premiership clubs but chose to stay at McDiarmid Park until the summer of 2023.

Michael said: "I'm delighted to have my future sorted out.

"I was out of contract at the end of the season and had other options to consider. But my focus was very much on trying to come to an agreement with St Johnstone.

"I'd like to thank the manager, the Chairman, the Board and Scott Boyd for making the process straightforward and making me feel wanted for the next couple of years.

"We have just completed the most successful season in the club's history and I'm very proud to have played my part in what we achieved. I wanted to be here for the next stage.

"We are going into European football and we have really exciting times ahead.

"The dressing-room is a great place, the boys are all brilliant and the togetherness is second to none. We all enjoy coming into work and working with the manager and the coaching staff.

"I think we can see that with the number of players who have also renewed their contracts. Saints is a brilliant place to be."
