Partick Thistle FC can today confirm the signing of midfielder Scott Martin from Hamilton Accies on an 18-month contract, subject to Scottish FA clearance, with the club holding an option to extend his deal for a further year.
Martin, who has been Hamilton’s captain since the beginning of last season, has featured 26 times this term taking his appearance total to nearly 200 for the New Douglas Park side.
He came through the youth set-up at Hibernian making his senior debut in December 2014 and was a teammate of Thistle skipper Brian Graham at Easter Road during the 2016/17 season as the Hibees won the Scottish Championship.
On the deal, Thistle manager Kris Doolan said:
“I am really pleased to bring Scott to the club for the rest of this season and beyond. He has always impressed me in the games he has played against Partick Thistle with his whole-hearted approach to things.”
“His energy and willingness to win the ball are great attributes and the fact that he was the captain at Hamilton Accies shows you the type of character he is.”
As part of the deal, Scott Robinson will be making a permanent move to Hamilton Accies.
Signing with the club in the summer of 2023, Robinson has been an important part of Kris Doolan’s team throughout his season and a half as a Jag.
After an injury-hit introduction to life at Thistle, Scott put together a strong run of form at the back end of last season finishing with five goals and five assists in 31 games during his debut campaign in red and yellow.
So far this season, the number 17 has four goals and four assists in 23 matches including an important winner at East End Park and a double against Hamilton Accies in a 5-1 win at the Wyre Stadium at Firhill.
Scott leaves with the best wishes and thanks of everyone at the club.
Thistle manager Kris Doolan said:
“Scott Robinson is going in the opposite direction and he was a great professional during his time at Partick Thistle but with his contract here expiring this summer he’s been offered the additional security of a longer contract at Hamilton.”
“He worked hard both on and off the pitch and everyone here will remember his terrific run of form at the end of last season where he scored or assisted in each of our play-off games.”
“In this campaign Scott has played a lot of football for us and chipped in with important goals. I wish him well in the rest of his career.”
While the International Transfer Window closes tonight at 11pm, the Domestic Loan Window remains open until Friday, 28th February and the club will continue to work hard on ways to add to the squad until that deadline.
