Michael O'Halloran keen to build on St Johnstone success story after penning new two year deal

Michael O’Halloran is setting his sights on more special times after penning a new two-year deal with St Johnstone.

The 30-year-old, who has two Scottish Cups and a League Cup to his name with the Perth club, is now signed up until the summer of 2023.

O’Halloran turned down offers from other Scottish Premiership teams to remain a Saint for the foreseeable future.

“I’m delighted to have my future sorted out,” O’Halloran said.

“I was out of contract at the end of the season and had other options to consider. But my focus was very much on trying to come to an agreement with St Johnstone.

“I’d like to thank the manager, the chairman, the board and Scott Boyd for making the process straightforward and making me feel wanted for the next couple of years.

“We have just completed the most successful season in the club’s history and I’m very proud to have played my part in what we achieved. I wanted to be here for the next stage.

“We are going into European football and we have really exciting times ahead.”

O’Halloran added: “The dressing-room is a great place, the boys are all brilliant and the togetherness is second to none. We all enjoy coming into work and working with the manager and the coaching staff.

“I think we can see that with the number of players who have also renewed their contracts. Saints is a brilliant place to be.”
