Newry City AFC Manager Gary Boyle has made his fifth summer signing in the experienced midfielder Liam Bagnall.

Boyle commented “Liam is a player I have been nibbling away at in the background for some time.

He needs no introduction; he is an inspirational player, a leader, captained teams and won trophies at the highest level.

He will bring a steely determination, a winning mentality and that never say die attitude – the foundation of which this club has been built!

He is another player who will set standards, expect them from himself and demand them from his teammates.

He knows the club, knows the majority of the lads and is eager to get going!

We, as a club are delighted to get him on board.”

Bagnall commented “I am delighted to get the opportunity to play for Newry in the Irish league. I’m looking forward to the challenge ahead.

Newry has a great local support and I’m looking forward to getting started and playing in front of the home crowd at The Showgrounds.”
