St Mirren striker Mikael Mandron has completed a move to Stockport County on a one-year deal. The 31-year-old forward leaves St Mirren after scoring 13 goals and providing 10 assists last season, helping the club secure a 10th-place finish in the Premiership with 30 points from 33 games, including a recent 1-0 win over Partick Thistle on 25 May 2026.
What did Mandron achieve at St Mirren?
Mandron enjoyed his most prolific season in five years, netting seven goals in eight Scottish League Cup ties as St Mirren lifted the trophy for only the second time in their history. His third season at St Mirren Park saw him become a key figure in attack, with his physical presence and work rate making him a constant threat to defenders.
Why is this move significant?
Stockport County head of recruitment Jonathan Smith highlighted Mandron’s ability to lead the line and create space for teammates. His arrival adds a new dimension to Stockport’s attack, bringing experience from a nomadic career that includes spells at Sunderland, Wigan Athletic, and Motherwell.
What’s next for St Mirren?
With Mandron’s departure, St Mirren will look to reinforce their squad ahead of the new season. The club finished 10th last term, 40 points behind leaders Heart of Midlothian, and will aim to improve their goal difference after scoring 27 and conceding 48. Injuries to Declan John, Keanu Baccus, and Ryan Mullen could also impact their pre-season preparations.
