Partick Thistle midfielder Ben Stanway has signed a new one-year contract at his club, boosting the club's hopes of returning to the Scottish Premiership. Thistle manager Mark Wilson believes that Stanway's desire to take the club up the ladder prompted him to sign the unexpected contract. Stanway, 21, was considered ready to leave the club after scoring 12 goals last season. Thistle missed out on promotion last year after losing the playoff final against St Mirren.

Mark Wilson said, "He wants to be part of something special at Thistle. He's been here for 11 years, and if he gets promotion on his tenth anniversary, it will be very special for him." Stanway was approached by several Premiership clubs due to his impressive sporting performances last season. Wilson said in January that his departure was considered almost certain. But now, Thistle's manager has expressed his delight at the change.

Wilson said, "Her performances were so engaging that there was naturally interest. To be honest, I was prepared to lose her, but we always remained in communication with her. As time went on, we got another chance."

Partick Thistle are set to face Livingston, another contender in the promotion race, on Friday. The match will be live in front of BBC Scotland cameras. Thistle won 1–0 in the week one match against Greenock Morton. Wilson hopes Stanway will raise his game even further and help Thistle return to the top division for the first time since 2018.

Wilson said, "The fans even have a song for him; that doesn't happen often. He feels a special connection with this club and his desire to get Thistle out of this division is admirable. It shows the drive and tenacity of a boy that our young players and experienced players can learn from."

What will happen next

Partick Thistle now prepare for a crucial match against Livingston, another contender in the promotion race. Stanway's form and performances will be one to keep an eye on in this match, as his playing ability could impact Thistle's season outlook. If Thistle wins this match, their promotion hopes will be even stronger.
