St Mirren have confirmed John Park's departure as recruitment chief. The former Celtic and Rangers talent spotter has been working with the Buddies since being brought to the club under former boss Stephen Robinson.
What happened?
John Park played an important role in establishing key recruitment infrastructure, including a strategic partnership with Driblab, a leading analytics consultancy. St Mirren thanked him for his service and wished him the best of luck in his future.
Why it matters for St Mirren
The club has appointed Gavin Miller as the new head of recruitment. Miller has a proven track record of identifying high-potential players and has an extensive network across Europe and the UK.
What comes next?
Gavin Miller will be tasked with building on and enhancing St Mirren's recruitment processes, using his experiences with data to support the club's long-term strategic goals. He has already begun assessing the squad and engaging in discussions with out-of-contract players.
St Mirren will bid farewell to players Scott Tanser, Dan Nlundulu, Luke Kenny, Oisin Smyth, and James Scott, while contract extensions have been offered to Mark O'Hara, Mikael Mandron, Jonah Ayunga, Allan Campbell, and Fraser Taylor. Shamal George, Jacob Devaney, Ross Sinclair, and Kion Etete will return to their parent clubs.
