Newry Manager Darren Mullen is delighted to announce he has secured the services of fans favourite James Teelan for next season. Mullen commented “From the day Jamesy walked through the gates of The Showgrounds he has flourished and has played a huge part in our success this season. He knows he is in a place where he can continue to thrive, which is vital for any young player, and I fully expect him to continue his progress in the Premiership. This deal is a sign of our intent to keep our best players and hopefully add some signings over the coming weeks.”

Teelan commented “From the start last season was all about getting the club promoted. We did that and personally, I was very happy with how the season went. I enjoyed my football and developed a really good connection with the fans who have been so good to me. Getting promoted was the icing on the cake, I will enjoy a few weeks off now but I am looking forward to the challenge that lies ahead in the Premiership.”

We would like to thank David Campbell Sports Management for their help in facilitating this deal.
