Welsh International Declan John Signs with St Mirren
St Mirren has secured the signing of former Rangers and Bolton Wanderers defender, Declan John, on a short-term contract, marking a new era for the club’s defense. The Welsh international, capped seven times for his country, will stay until January 2025, offering his expertise and solid defensive capabilities to the squad.
Excited to Contribute
John shared his enthusiasm on St Mirren’s website, expressing, “I’m delighted to be here.” He mentioned the warm welcome and positive atmosphere, saying, “From walking in, everything has been so positive…it feels like a really good place to be.” After a whirlwind signing process, he has quickly integrated with the team and is eager to strengthen their defensive lineup.
St Mirren’s Need for Experience
Manager Stephen Robinson highlighted John’s arrival as a key addition amidst a shortage of defensive options, stating, “Declan comes in with a vast amount of experience. He’s played at some very high levels and been up in Scotland before.” Robinson hinted at a potential extension if the initial term proves successful.
Filling Gaps in the Squad
John’s signing also coincides with recent departures, including left-back Jaden Brown and other defensive players. With these roster changes, John’s presence promises to provide stability, aiming to help St Mirren climb the Scottish Premiership standings and solidify their defense.
