Maxwell and Brittain leaving Love Street
St Mirren manager Gus MacPherson has confirmed Ian Maxwell and Richard Brittain will leave the club at the end of the season.
The duo were both of out contract at the end of the campaign and MacPherson has opted not to give them new deals.
Maxwell signed for St Mirren from St Johnstone in 2005, while Brittain joined a year later from Livingston.
MacPherson revealed that, with a number of promising youngsters coming through at the club, it was time to let them move on.
"I've spoken to Ian and Richard and told them we won't be extending their contracts," said MacPherson.
Unfortunate
"Richard's been unfortunate with his injuries but as we're tightening the squad we also need to freshen it up.
"That happens at this time of year. We've had a strong squad and they've both played a major part in it and we thank them for their efforts.
"I don't think they'll have a problem finding clubs because of their achievements through their careers and what they've done at St Mirren.
"We've got young players who are pushing through, we believe we've got a crop of them that need to be given an opportunity to show what they can do."
