Former Coventry City loanee Darren Jackson has been appointed as first team coach at St Mirren.
The Scottish international, who made three appearances for City in 1998/1999 whilst on loan from Celtic, has been coaching at Dundee United, Raith Rovers and with the Scottish FA.
St Mirren boss Alan Stubbs said about Jackson: "I'm delighted that Darren has agreed to join me.
"It's something that I've tried to look to try and do in the past, but it's just something that hasn't been right for either myself or Darren at the time.
"But now things are in a much better position and he's agreed to come on board.
"Darren's also been working at the SFA as well and helping out with the under-19's while Donald Park was there.
"I think he's going to be a really good addition. He'll be great in amongst the players and most importantly he's someone that I can trust."
