Newry Manager Darren Mullen is delighted with his latest signing Mark Hughes. ‘Mark is a massive signing for the club and a statement of intent in terms of how serious we are in not wanting to rest on our laurels. He is coming straight out of playing premiership football and is a classy player. His experience and skill level especially on the left hand side gives us a great boost and adds to what is now a really competitive squad. If we are to become competitive within this league, then we need players of Marks ability and I’m delighted he has decided to come back to the club.’

Mark Hughes… “It feels good to be back at Newry, I’m looking forward to the new season. It looks like Darren is putting together a good team and hopefully we can push for promotion.”
