Marcus Fraser signs new two year contract at St Mirren

Marcus Fraser has signed a two-year contract extension that keeps him at St Mirren until summer 2027.

The deal also includes the option to trigger a third-year based on appearances.

Named as vice-captain in 2023, Marcus is one of the longest serving first-team players having joined the Buddies in July 2020. Marcus has made 191 appearances during his four years at the club.

The 30-year-old joins manager Stephen Robinson and forward Greg Kiltie in extending their contracts in recent weeks.

Speaking to stmirren.com, Marcus said: “From a personal point of view, I’m buzzing to get it done.

“I’m looking forward to the next couple of years with the club. I’ve been here for a few years now and it’s been great.

“Personally, family life, we’re happy and I’m settled here. It’s been really good playing wise and you can see the direction the club wants to go. That was a big part and I want to be involved in that.

“I’ve got a good relationship with the manager and I hope he knows I like to work hard and lead by example in training. He has been brilliant for me and the trust he puts in myself, I just try to repay that by working hard in training and on the pitch.”

Manager Stephen Robinson added: “Marcus has been a mainstay of the team and been a big part of our top six finish and our European adventure.

He thoroughly deserves it. He’s playing well and he’s a big character in the dressing room as well, so we’re delighted he’s committed his future.

“It’s very important to have a Scottish element involved. You need people to know how to win matches in Scotland and guys like Marcus and Greg epitomise that in terms of their quality, knowledge and desire to win.

“They are two of four contracts we’ve offered with Toyosi Olusanya and Richard Taylor offered very good contracts also and we’re hoping to have more good news in the future.”
