Former Hibs star Alex Gogic has revealed he has offers from abroad before deciding to return to St Mirren in a move he's described as 'feeling like home'.
The Cyprus international made the move to the Buddies during the January transfer window on a loan deal until the summer and spent the close season weighing up his options after the expiry of his contract at Easter Road.
He admits his next step wasn't an easy decision and has revealed that was the reason behind the outcome over his future taking so long. He's put pen to paper on a two-year deal in Paisley. He had offers of three seasons elsewhere but the ex-Hibs man says he wanted to make sure it was the right move for his family and himself. He told St Mirren's official website: "I had a few offers abroad but, considering everything, I felt this was the best offer.
"It does feel like home. I became a man in Scotland so it’s definitely my second home.
"It wasn’t an easy decision, that’s why I took this long. It took a while to decide what was best for me and my family together and we decided this was the best decision for us.

"At the start of the summer I was thinking maybe I would try something different and new. I thought I would wait and see my offers. And then when you consider everything, it’s nice to come back home."
