St Mirren sell top scorer Toyosi Olusanya to Houston Dynamo

“Toyosi has deserved his move,” Robinson told his club website.

“It’s something that has come out of the blue, but it’s a fantastic opportunity for him. He’s conducted himself so well since he’s come to the club and proved what a good player and signing he’s been.”

Olusanya joined St Mirren in June 2022 after leaving Middlesbrough, but Robinson pointed out that, previous to his season with the Championship club, he had spent most of his career in non-league football.

He described him as “a great example” of where a “fantastic work ethic” can take a player.

Olusanya was initially loaned to Arbroath in Scotland’s second tier but would go on to score 19 goals, 12 of them this season.

Dynamo president of soccer Pat Onstad told his club website: “Toyosi is a dynamic goalscorer who adds more physicality and verticality to our attack.

“He will provide valuable depth at the forward position, especially as we enter the busiest stretch of our season.”
