Ross Sinclair Signs New Deal

Sinclair, 22, made his first-team debut toward the end of the 22/23 season away to Ross County in a 3-3 draw.

The former Scotland under 21 goalkeeper's contract was due to expire in May of 2024, but his new deal will see him stay at McDiarmid Park until May of 2026.

Ross has been at Saints since the age of 12 and said the decision was an easy one to make: 

"I am delighted to get the deal signed as it has been in the works for a while.

"It was an easy decision for me to stay. It feels like i have been here for ages, but it has also flown by at the same time.

"I feel like this is my club because i have grown up around the place, I was a ball boy and I used to be a season ticket holder here. I have been here for over a decade now.

"To experience all of that, then come through the academy and sign another professional deal is massive for me and for my family.

"The injury has come at the worst time for me, I had just made my debut and started a few games.

"It happened during a bounce game, I dived to stop a shot and broke my elbow. I have made that same save a hundred times before and this time I was just unfortunate.

"We got the surgery done as soon as possible, they had to break the bone again to help set it properly.

"The surgeon is happy with how it was turned out and I can guarantee everyone I will be back better and stronger.

"I have had bad injuries before and i know how horrible it can be. Taking a routine away from a player can be extremely lonely, you miss out on the gym, meetings, training, and it can be stressful.

"Having my friends, family and teammates around me has made the ordeal a lot easier. I can't thank the supporters enough for all their kind messages and I am looking forward to being back as soon as possible.

"The most important thing for me now is to get away for a bit and get my head right. Then I will come back, focus on my rehab and getting back as quickly as possible.

Everyone at McDiarmid Park wishes Ross a speedy recovery!
