Stevie Mallan (born 25 March 1996) is a Scottish footballer, who plays as a midfielder for St Mirren.

Career

Born in Glasgow, he was included in St Mirren's matchday squad for the first time on 18 October 2014, remaining on the substitutes' bench as they lost 0–1 at home against Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the Scottish Premiership.[1] On 8 November, he was again unused as they lost by the same score against Partick Thistle, again at St Mirren Park.[2] His debut came two weeks later as St Mirren lost 0–3 away to Hamilton Academical, starting and making way for James Marwood after 68 minutes.[3]

Mallan scored his first goal on his fifth appearance, the team's second in a 3–1 away win against Dundee at Dens Park.[4] BBC Sport described the goal, in which Mallan dispossessed an opponent in his own half, went on a run and shot from outside the penalty area, as "a contender for goal of the season".[5] They also questioned whether he could ever score a better goal in the remainder of his career.[5] On 4 May 2015 Mallan was awarded with the PFA Scotland 'Goal of the Season' award, for this strike.[6]

On 9 January 2015 Mallan won the SPFL Young Player of the Month award for December 2014.[7] Eight days later he scored his second goal, the 87th-minute winner in a 2–1 victory at Ross County.[8] It was announced on 24 January that Mallan had signed a three-year contract extension, tying him to the club until the summer of 2018.[9] On 16 May, he scored an added-time winner in a 2–1 home victory against Motherwell, confining the opponents to the relegation play-offs.[10]

On 25 August 2015, Mallan equalised with a 25-yard free kick in first-half added time in a Scottish League Cup second round game against Livingston, but his team lost 2–3 at home.[11] He scored twice in a 4–0 win over Dunfermline Athletic on 10 October to send his team into the semi-finals of the Scottish Challenge Cup.[12]

Personal life

He is the son of a former footballer of the same name, who played as a forward for a variety of Scottish clubs including Clyde and Queen of the South.[13]
