Great news for St Johnstone as Tommy Wright signs new deal

The news all St Johnstone fans wanted to hear came today when manager Tommy Wright agreed a deal to keep him at the club until 2019.

To hold on to the man who led them to Scottish Cup glory is great for Saints supporters but not so good for those at Dundee United who thought the Northern Irishman could be Jackie McNamara’s successor.

Agreeing a four-year contract is a confident step from the Perth club’s chairman Steve Brown, who was always sure that Wright would not be tempted by a move to Tannadice.
