St Mirren have sealed the signature of Northern Ireland winger Conor McMenamin.

He has signed for an undisclosed fee on a two-year contract, with the option of a further year.

McMenamin has won six Northern Ireland caps, and was a substitute in their recent European qualifying losses to Denmark and Kazakhstan.

Speaking to stmirren.com, Conor spoke of his delight at finally getting the deal done. He said: "I’m really looking forward to it.

"It’s been a long few weeks back-and-forth, and I’m really happy to have it over the line. I can’t wait to get going.

"The manager wants me to be who I am and play the way I can play. He knows my strengths and I’m going to try and bring my strengths to the team."

Manager Stephen Robinson was thrilled to capture the 27-year-old and praised Conor and his agents for their willingness to get the move sealed.

"It’s been a protracted negotiation but I have to pay a lot of credit to Conor himself and his agent Brian Adair and Keith Gillespie," the manager said.

"They made the deal work by taking a little bit less and sacrificing their agency fee and less wages than initially agreed. That shows a real desire to come to St Mirren.

"In certain games last year, we lacked a wee bit of brilliance where someone can score out of nothing. We're hopeful he’s the little spark you need sometimes in games like that."
