Newry Manager Darren Mullen commented on Graemes departure, “Graeme is a player that we will all be sad to see leave the club. He has been there right from the very start of our revival and has played his part in our return to Irish league football.

Like his father and grandfather before him he always gave nothing less than 100% when playing in a Newry jersey. No matter what position I played him in he did it without fuss or complaint and has been a model professional in terms of his attitude and commitment. We wish him well in the remainder of his football career and he will always be very welcome back at The Showgrounds.”
