Steven is a creative midfielder who joined the club from Motherwell at the start of the 2012/13 season. He made an immediate impact as his goals helped the side to promotion in his first full season as a Jag. Despite scoring twice in Thistle first win of the 2013/14 season, Steven found it a little tougher in his first Premiership season, but towards the end of his maiden campaign was producing performances more like those the Jags fans had become used to in the First Division. The wide midfielder has gone on to make over 150 top flight appearances for Thistle in the four seasons he’s completed with the Jags.
Lawless signed a two-year contract extension in the summer of 2016 meaning he’ll be with Thistle until the end of the current campaign at least.
He was quick to get off the mark this season, scoring twice in Thistle’s second competitive game of the new campaign, during the 5-0 defeat of St. Mirren in the Betfred Cup. He also scored during Thistle’s 3-0 win over St. Johnstone in the same competition.
Although typically an attacking midfielder, Lawless has been deployed at left wing-back during the Jags’ injury crisis. His performances have been exemplary and have helped the Jags attain their first wins and clean sheets of the 2017/18 season.
Contract Expires: May 2018
