Keanu Baccus

Keanu Baccus was a regular part of St Mirren’s midfield in the completed Premiership season, making 16 league appearances, including 13 starts, and scoring one goal. The split between starts and substitute outings points to a player used mainly from the beginning rather than as cover, while six yellow cards underline the defensive edge in his centre-midfield role. He also made four League Cup appearances and one in the Scottish Cup.

Baccus’s career path has been built around two main spells: his development years at Western Sydney Wanderers and repeated involvement with St Mirren. The move to Scotland in 2022 was the major step, followed by a year at Mansfield Town and a return to Paisley in 2025. At 27, the profile is of an established midfielder rather than a development project.

The transfer record suggests pragmatic movement rather than fee-heavy progression. Baccus joined St Mirren from Western Sydney Wanderers on a free transfer in 2022, left for Mansfield Town on another free in 2024, then returned to St Mirren for an undisclosed fee in 2025. St Mirren’s willingness to pay to bring him back points to a clear valuation of his role.
