Conor McMenamin is relaxed about his St Mirren future amid "ongoing" talks about a contract extension.
The 29-year-old Northern Ireland midfielder's deal expires this summer but includes the option for the club to extend his stay by a year.
McMenamin, who returned from a four-month injury lay-off in the win over Ross County last time out, said: "Now that I'm back on the pitch, hopefully something can be done. The manager has spoken to me and talks are ongoing at the minute.
"The club and my representatives are speaking at the minute about the clause and about activating and seeing what's best going forward, so I'm hopeful as we speak that I'll be here next year.
"I like it here. I'm settled here. Obviously, it's not in my hands. I've been out injured a long time, but I think obviously this year when I've come back and played a couple of games [earlier in the season], I felt like I'd benefited from it and done well for the team.
"I'm just hoping I can get another run here in the next five games and obviously if I stay here next year, just be injury-free and really help the boys kick on and try and get top six again next year if that's the case.
"But listen, it's out of my hands and I'm not really worried about it, to be honest. If it's meant to be, it'll be and if not, then we can move on."
McMenamin is also keen to get back into the Northern Ireland squad this summer after winning nine caps since his debut in 2022.
"I love going away with Northern Ireland," he said. "Obviously, I've missed nearly a year since I last played for Northern Ireland.
"It's obviously been a drive of mine to get back playing for St Mirren, and I know if I do well here that I can get back playing for Northern Ireland."
