In a recent development at McDiarmid Park, St Johnstone and defender Dare Olufunwa have parted ways, following a mutual termination of his contract. This departure marks an end to Olufunwa's brief stint with the Saints that started in the summer of 2023.
Olufunwa, aged 23, found it challenging to secure a regular spot in the team's lineup. Despite the managerial changes from Steven MacLean to Craig Levein and now Simo Valakari, the young defender's opportunities remained scant. His last appearance for the club stretches back over a year, further highlighting his difficulties in making an impact.
During the first half of this season, Olufunwa was loaned out to Hamilton in an attempt to gain more playing time. However, even with this move, his career at St Johnstone did not turn around as hoped. Overall, Olufunwa leaves Perth after having made a total of 11 appearances for the Saints.
While it's always tough to see a player leave, especially under such circumstances, St Johnstone's relentless march towards Premiership glory remains undeterred. The team continues to build on its rich history and resilience, driven by the same spirit that has seen them triumph in the past. As we look forward to the upcoming fixtures, the focus is firmly on securing more wins and, who knows, possibly marching all the way to the Scottish FA Cup final this season!
And just for a wee bit of fun at the expense of our neighbours: Why did the Dundee United fan sit on a newspaper? Because they wanted to catch up on the news since the last time they saw their team win! Remember, folks, it's all in good jest. Here's to hoping for more thrilling matches and memorable victories for the Saints.
