I’d been playing at a higher level before that point and eventually moved on to a higher league.“I owed the club a lot because they helped me get my fitness back up after having my son.

After nine months out it was tough getting my body back in playing condition.“I feel like the club’s motivation is at a stage now that is similar to mine.

I’m absolutely delighted to be back, especially as St Mirren is my hometown team.“Me and my dad are season ticket holders. It’s a cliché but we bleed black and white.“I’ve played with a lot of different clubs.
