Sobowale will bring 'real quality' to St Mirren
Tunmise Sobowale's "athleticism, pace and energy" will bring "real quality" to St Mirren, says manager Stephen Robinson. The 26-year-old right wing-back has become the Paisley side's latest summer signing, joining from Swindon Town on a two-year deal. "We believe Tunmise has real quality in terms of his athleticism, his pace and his energy," said Robinson. "He's coming in to compete with Jayden [Richardson] for a place in the team. He can play at right-sided centre-half or as a real attacking right wing-back with his pace. "It's another bit of competition which we need in the squad." Tunmise began his career at his hometown club Waterford. He would move to Spain in 2018 to join Hercules before returning to Ireland with Finn Harps. In 2020 Tunmise re-joined Waterford, where he played with Buddies players Roland Idowu and Richard Taylor. He would then move to Shrewsbury Town before going on to make 44 appearances at Swindon. "I've spoken to some players who were previously here and they've had nothing but good things to say about the club," said Tunmise. "I think it is the perfect place for me to play my football right now and enjoy it. I want to now do the best I can for myself and the club."
