Legend Murray set to leave St Mirren in the summer

St Mirren have announced that record appearance holder Hugh Murray will leave the Paisley club at the end of the season - 15 years after he made his debut for the Buddies.

The 33-year-old midfielder, who was capped by Scotland at U21 level, has racked up 467 appearances for Saints - 402 of them in the league - since playing for the first time in 1997.

St Mirren manager Danny Lennon told the club website: "Shuggy has set himself in the record books at a club he has served terrifically well for 15 years. In the modern era, it is rare for a player to spend his whole career at the one club. I think that is to be praised and commended.

"He has now thrown down the gauntlet to our emerging young players, such as Jason Naismith and Thomas Reilly, encouraging them to be the next players to serve the club impeccably well and to achieve legendary status at a club that is steeped in 135 years of rich footballing heritage."
