Neil Lennon's son Gallagher has signed a contract with St Mirren.

Lennon, 17, had spent pre-season on trial with Stephen Robinson's side.

The teenager - who had represented Northern Ireland at youth level - featured for the Buddies B team against Albion Rovers this week and was involved in the matchday squad against Dumbarton in pre-season but didn't feature.

The Scottish Sun report that Lennon has signed a one-year deal with St Mirren and is training with the first-team in Paisley.Lennon played for Partick Thistle last season.

Speaking previously on Go Radio, former Celtic boss Lennon said: "He started training with St Mirren today, he's 17. St Mirren are going to have a good look at him over the next few weeks.

"He played for the [Northern Ireland] Under-17s there in November and did really well, they bumped him up to the 19s and was supposed to play in the Euros in March. But he broke his collarbone the week before, so he missed out on that.

"He's sort of mixed his education with his football and he did well at school. But he wants to give the football a go."

And quizzed on whether carrying the Lennon name would make his career harder, he said: "I don't know about that. If he's good enough, he'll come through.

"I don't think that's got anything to do with it really. I just think it's harder now, there's so much competition, scrutiny and analysis across all the academies. You have to be very exceptional to make it through now at a big club."
