St Johnstone boss Tommy Wright has signed a new contract that will keep him at McDiarmid Park until the summer of 2019.

St Johnstone boss Tommy Wright has signed a new contract that will keep him at McDiarmid Park until the summer of 2019.

The 52-year-old former Northern Ireland keeper has been in charge of the Perth club since replacing Steve Lomas in June 2013, famously leading them to Scottish Cup glory in May 2014.

European football has become a regular feature and Saints are just outside the top six as they prepare to welcome Partick Thistle to McDiarmid Park on Saturday.

Wright told the club website: “I’m delighted to have extended my contract. I am enjoying my time at the club and I feel there is still a lot to be done and a lot to be achieved.
 
“When I look at the squad of players, I realise how well we’ve done to assemble such a strong team and I know we can achieve more success together. I would like to thank the chairman and the club for their continued support.”
