Ryan Strain insists his switch to St Mirren has been a “game-changer”.
The Buddies wing back moved to Paisley from Maccabi Haifa in June and has hit the ground running, becoming a mainstay in Stephen Robinson ’s defence.
His impressive form in the Scottish Premiership earned him a first international cap for Australia, with the 25-year-old making his first appearance for the Socceroos in the last international break against rivals New Zealand.
Speaking to the Socceroos official website, Strain revealed he feels moving to the Saints has been the key to his reversal in fortunes, having spent months on the sidelines in Israel.
Strain said: “It means the world to me and my family. I was just was buzzing to get out there.
“I’m just proud of myself and I just want more now.
“Obviously my time with Maccabi Haifa wasn’t great, but that was because of injury.
“Two months ago, I’d never think I’d be talking about making my Socceroos debut.
“St Mirren has been a game-changer for me. It’s been a manager over there who has given me a lot of time to play.
“I just have to go back to my club and try and perform as best as I can to try to get my name on that (26-man) list.”

Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor After two straight quarters of subscriber losses, Netflix returned to growth in the third quarter of 2022 — and told investors it’s expecting a strong Q4 to finish the year, even though it doesn’t expect big gains right away from the launch of its cheaper, ad-supported plans. The streaming giant reported 2.41 million net new paid subscribers in Q3, including a gain of 100,000 in the U.S./Canada region, to stand at 223.1 million worldwide as of the end of September. That handily topped Netflix’s previous forecast of a 1 million pickup for the period. For Q4, Netflix expects to gain 4.5 million new streaming customers, compared with 8.3 million in the year-earlier quarter. Netflix Basic With Ads is slated to launch in the U.S. on Nov. 3 and priced at $6.99 per month — three dollars less than the regular Basic plan.
