On 27 January 2023, St Clair moved to Vis Pesaro in Serie C and signed a contract until the end of the season.[10]

On 1 September 2023, he left Venezia by mutual consent.[11]

On 7 February 2024, St Clair signed with FC Tulsa for the 2024 USL Championship season.[12]

International career

Born and raised in London, St Clair qualified for Scotland through his mother, Heather, coming from Edinburgh. He made his debut for the under-17 team in their European qualifier against the Faroe Islands. This was at Eamonn Deacy Park in Galway, Ireland on 22 September 2014 and scored in a 4–0 win before a crowd of 25 people in a 'tornado'.[13] In March 2018, he was first called up to the under-21 team.[13] In June that year at the 2018 Toulon Tournament the Scots came fourth, with St Clair winning a penalty in the third-place match against Turkey, which was saved by Altay Bayındır.[14]
