Cork City winger Dijksteel agrees January move to the Scottish Premiership

Meanwhile, Jamie Finn is the latest Irish international on the hunt for a new club this summer.

LAST UPDATE | 22 Jul 2025

CORK CITY WINGER Malik Dijksteel will join St Mirren in January after agreeing a pre-contract with the Scottish Premiership club.

Dijksteel, 24, has made over 40 appearances for City since joining in June 2023, scoring five goals.

He has agreed a two-and-a-half year deal to join St Mirren when his City contract expires at the end of the year.

“Malik is a player that we have kept tabs on over the last six months,” St Mirren boss Stephen Robinson said.

“He’s a real bright spark in the final third. He’s quick, direct, takes players on and I think the fans will really take to him given how exciting he is.”

St Mirren, who also have Ireland international Killian Phillips and Dubliner Roland Idowu on their books, finished sixth in the last season’s Scottish Premiership.

Meanwhile, Jamie Finn is the latest Ireland women’s international on the hunt for a new club this summer, following her departure from Birmingham City.

The 27-year-old leaves the Championship outfit after four years, at the expiration of her contract.

Finn joined Birmingham from Shelbourne in August 2021, and 50 appearances in the 2022/23 season underlined her importance to the club. The Dubliner has recently been working her way back from an ACL injury, which was sustained in February 2024.

Ruesha Littlejohn, Heather Payne, Megan Campbell, Izzy Atkinson and Dee Bradley are the other free agents who have been in Carla Ward’s recent Ireland squads.

Several players have made summer moves, including Aoife Mannion (Newcastle United), Chloe Mustaki (Nottingham Forest), Grace Moloney (Southampton), Tyler Toland (Durham) and Erin McLoughlin (Glasgow City).
