SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Sacramento Republic FC announced on Thursday it had reached an agreement with Scottish Premiership side St Mirren F.C. for the acquisition of Lewis Jamieson via transfer. The transaction is pending receipt of his P-1 Visa and ITC, as well as league and federation approval. Per club policy, the terms of the contract were not disclosed.
The 22-year-old striker comes to Sacramento after spending the first five years of his career with St Mirren. After joining the club’s youth side at age 17, he rose through the ranks to sign his first pro contract with the club in 2019. Jamieson went on to make 35 appearances for the Saints, recording one goal and one assist.
“Lewis is a young, talented striker that will add to the depth of our front line,” said Republic FC President and General Manager Todd Dunivant. “Through his previous experience with Neill, we’ve seen his ability to make an impact across multiple attacking positions, and we look forward to incorporating his versatility to our team.”
Jamieson spent several seasons on loan from his hometown club, with appearances across various levels of the Scottish Professional Football League, including the top-flight Scottish Premiership. He saw standout campaigns with eight goals in 18 appearances at Airdrieonians F.C. in 2022 and five goals in 13 appearances for Clyde FC in 2021. He also made 13 appearances for Inverness Caledonian Thistle (2021-22), the former club of Republic FC midfielder Nick Ross.
Most recently, he featured on loan for Raith Rovers FC where he was managed by current Republic FC Head Coach Neill Collins, scoring three goals in 18 appearances. Across all his loans, Jamieson recorded 23 goals and five assists in 78 appearances.
