Following the addition of Philip Donnelly, Newry Manager Darren Mullen has continued his early summer signings bringing in another new face in Fra Brennan.

“Fra is a very welcome addition to the club. He comes with a huge amount of experience and has already shown how valuable he could be for us this season. I was impressed with him when he played against us so it’s good to have him in a Newry shirt. We need to be a lot more competitive this year and signing players of Fra’s calibre can only improve us.”

Fra commented “I am delighted to sign for Newry AFC, it has been one of the great clubs within our local game with so much history past and present. The clubs re-emergence and the success it has achieved on & off the pitch is something I have admired. I told Darren when signing I was happy that I don’t have to play against his sides anymore as I always found the games against Newry extremely challenging and competitive. Hopefully I can help the club to future success.”
