Mikael Mandron, a forward who has spent his career primarily as a striker for various clubs, graced this world with his presence on on 11 October 1994, originating from France. Standing tall at 1.91m (6ft 3in) and weighing a healthy 82kg (12st 12lb), the number 9 jersey is his. Amongst the clubs Mandron has lent his talents to, his current home is St Mirren.
Cast your mind back to July 2011, when the young Mandron joined Sunderland in the Premier League in England as a trainee. His formative years at the club saw him make a modest three first team appearances before he was loaned out to Fleetwood Town in the League Two in January 2014. During his short stint there, Mandron made 11 first team appearances and scored one goal in league matches.
Once again he was cast back into the Premier League wilderness, his talents loaned out again - this time to Shrewsbury Town in January 2015 where he made just three appearances.
Undeterred, in November 2015 Mandron found himself at Hartlepool United, grappling with the reality of the National League in England, making five first team appearances in league matches.
Come July 2016, Mandron's services were transferred from Sunderland to Eastleigh in the National League in England. His tenure at Eastleigh proved slightly more fruitful, making 28 first team appearances and scoring ten goals in league matches.
His next move was more mysterious – Mandron was transferred to Wigan Athletic in the League One for an undisclosed fee in January 2017. An unremarkable spell at the club saw him make a mere three first team appearances in league matches.
Yet another transfer beckoned in July 2017, this time to Colchester United in the League Two, again for an undisclosed fee. Here, he made 28 first team appearances and scored eight goals in league matches.
Mandron was on the move once more in July 2019, this time to Gillingham in the League Two, where he had a relatively uneventful season, making 23 first team appearances and scoring one goal in league matches.
In August 2020, he wore the colours of Crewe Alexandra after being transferred from Gillingham. However, Mandron returned to Gillingham in July 2022 after his short stunt at Crewe Alexandra.
The French striker crossed the Scotland border in January 2023, joining Motherwell in the Premiership where he made ten first team appearances and scored one goal in league matches.
By July 2023, Mandron found a new Scottish home, transferring from Motherwell to St Mirren in the Premiership. This has been his longest stay at any club to date, and in three varying seasons he has made a total of 84 first team appearances and scored 17 goals in league matches.
