The former Hibernian player was released in the summer following their relegation from the Scottish Premiership, and signed for Saints after a successful trial.[16]
On 19 July Saints won the Renfrewshire Cup when they defeated local rivals Greenock Morton 1–0 at Cappielow.[17] This was the 55th time that Saints have lifted the trophy, and the eighth time they have defeated Greenock Morton in the last nine finals.

On 21 April two more players cancelled their contracts with the club by mutual consent, before the close of the season. Forward Callum Ball leaves the club after making 24 appearances in total, scoring twice. Midfielder Isaac Osbourne also left the club, making 18 appearances without scoring.[48]
On 27 April it was reported that club captain Steven Thompson "speared" teammate John McGinn in a bizarre training ground prank gone wrong. The incident happened before the recent 2015–16 Scottish Championship victory at home to Kilmarnock, and will see McGinn sidelined for around three weeks.[49]
May
editOn 4 May Stevie Mallan was awarded with the PFA Scotland 'Goal of the Season' award, for his strike against Dundee on 27 December 2014.[50]
