We can confirm that Thistle Weir Youth Academy graduate James Lyon has signed a two year deal to remain at Firhill until 2025, subject to SFA approval.
The 20 year old Academy graduate has been around the first team squad since the 2020/21 campaign when he became the 11th Thistle Weir Youth Academy graduate to make their competitive debut for the club appearing as a late substitute in a League One match against Forfar Athletic.
Having signed a richly deserved modern apprenticeship in the summer of 2021, James spent a season on loan to League Two Stenhousemuir making 22 appearances before returning to Firhill to fight for a first team place, taking to the pitch on 6 occasions during the 22/23 campaign.
The talented youngster has signed a two year deal and will return for pre-season training with the rest of Kris Doolan’s squad next week.
