Mikulic pens new St Johnstone deal after 'worst period of career'

Bozo Mikulic feels “real happiness for everything that is next” at St Johnstone after signing a new contract with the club.

The Croatian centre-back’s new deal runs until the summer of 2027 and will keep him at McDiarmid Park until then.

Mikulic joined Saints in October 2024 but has endured an injury-plagued spell during his time in Perth.

However, he is convinced he is primed to help the team on their return to the top flight and is “thankful for this chance”.

“What I came through last season with the injury was the worst period of my career,” he said. “It felt like the worst scenario for me, or for any player.

“But now my body has been feeling very good. Pre-season went well and I played four games. I was really happy with how that went.

“I’m very thankful for this chance. There is great excitement to be back in the Scottish Premiership.

“We have great characters and boys in our dressing room who are ready to build on the momentum of what happened last season.”
