Honours:

Young forward Lewis Jamieson is another product of Saints youth academy and made his debut in 2020 during the ‘COVID season’ when Jim Goodwin brought him on at Ibrox late in a 3-0 defeat in August.

Since this, Jamieson has been loaned out to lower league clubs on multiple occasions, including 2 spells at Clyde and half a season at Inverness Caledonian Thistle in 2021/22, before a productive few months at Airdrie in the first half of the 2022/23 campaign where he scored eight times in seventeen starts.

Stephen Robinson recalled the youngster in January 2023 from Broomfield, and Jamieson made his first Saints league appearance for over 2 years when he came off the bench at Fir Park for the last 12 minutes on the 15th February.

Honours:

Young forward Offord graduated from the club Youth Academy in 2020 and has managed a handful of appearances for the club, showing great promise particularly with his keen dribbling and movement when given the opportunity.

After a prolific spell in 2021/22 on loan with East Stirlingshire where he scored 12 times in 15 matches, Offord was loaned to League One Alloa at the start of the 2022/23 season and managed a credible 4 goals in 13 matches, however he only started 5 of those matches and was averaging a goal every 142 minutes on the park at the Clackmannanshire club.

Offord returned to Saints in January 2023 and has gone straight into the first team squad.

Departed:
Debut: 9th July 2022 v Arbroath (0-1)
Final Match:
Apps: 5

Signed from Middlesbrough in June 2022 where he had made 3 league appearances in just over a year at the English Championship club, the nomadic forward had spent almost all of his career to this date in the lower reaches of the football pyramid down south; appearing for Walton Casuals, Fleet Town and Gosport Borough after breaking through as a youngster at AFC Wimbledon.


Known for his great speed, Olusanya was loaned to Championship strugglers Arbroath in January 2023 to gain experience and held him adapt to Scottish football.

Alex Greive

Name: Alex Greive
Date of Birth: 13th May 1999
Place of Birth: Auckland, New Zealand
Nationality: Kiwi
Position: Forward
Height: 5ft 10in
Weight: 11.5st
Signed: 7th January 2022
Departed: 23rd May 2024
Debut: 18th January 2022 v Dundee Utd (2-1)
Final Match: 2nd January 2024 v Celtic (0-3)
Apps: 78
Goals: 9
Honours: 11 New Zealand Caps/2 goals.

Jim Goodwin brought attacker Greive to Paisley from New Zealand feeder club Birkenhead United in January 2022, and following a short trial period, signed the front man who had after scored 19 times in as many games for the Top Tier club in 2021, consequently winning him the Golden Boot in his country.

Initially signed on a short term deal, Greive managed a couple of goals early in his Saints career prompting new boss Stephen Robinson to offer the young Kiwi an extension to the summer of 2024, and although he never held down a consistent starting place in Saints XI, the forward proved to be a more than useful substitute during his time at the club, scoring a goal on average every 300 minutes on the park in the Premiership for the club.

Greive managed to score a number of crucial winners coming off the bench, most notably against Livingston when Saints were down to 10 men in October 2022, but probably his most memorable goal was the late winner at Easter Road on the opening day of the the 2023/24 season.

The forward would score his last goal for the club on the 27th August 2023, which should have been the winner against Aberdeen, however the failure of VAR to disallow the Don’s equalising goal in the 100th minute of play denied him this.

Greive would also be denied 2 further perfectly good goals before the end of September 2023 by VAR, which may have changed the outcome of his career, but in early January Stephen Robinson decided to loan him to Championship side Dundee Utd until the end of the season, effectively ending the popular Kiwi’s time at Paisley.

On the 23rd of May 2024, both Greive and the club announced he would be moving on as his contract had ended, with the international striker describing his time at Saints as the “best 2 years of my life”. He leaves Paisley however as the joint top goalscorer of international goals, tied with Bobby Rankin who had held the record solely since 1929.
