Swan sails into The Showgrounds

Newry City AFC are delighted to announce the signing of striker Ryan Swan.

 

The 30-year-old will join the club on expiration of his contract with Annagh United, becoming Manager Stuart King’s first signing of the Summer.

Swan moves to The Showgrounds, having enjoyed spells with Warrenpoint Town, as well as League of Ireland sides Bohemians and Cabinteely, following a stint with Exeter City earlier in his career.

“I’m delighted to be here,” said Swan.

“After speaking to Stuart and Pixie, I felt this was the right move at the right time.

“This is a big club, a sleeping giant. I want to be here to try and get us back to the Premiership.”

 

 

Manager Stuart King added his delight at securing Swan’s services.

“I’m so happy to get Ryan into our club. He’s someone who I’ve admired for years and is quick, strong and scores goals,” he said.

“Ryan’s performances in the play-off recently made him a top target and I’m so glad he has decided to join us when a lot of clubs were interested in having him onboard.

“I’m excited to see him and Lee playing together and I have no doubt our fans will love him.”

NI Football Fund

Newry City AFC Chairman Darren Mullen has reacted to DfC’s announcement in respect of the NI Football Fund.

‘We thank DfC for progressing our project to the next stage. This is terrific news for the club which will hopefully lead to much needed further development at the ground,” said Mullen.

“There has been a lot of time and effort put into this application and it’s a credit to all those involved.

“That work will continue to ensure we have the best possible facilities for everyone in the club and the wider community”.

Martin McLoughlin, Darren Mullen and Gary Wilson

All change at Newry City

Outgoing Chairman Martin McLoughlin and incumbent Vice-Chairman Gary Wilson welcome Darren Mullen as the new Club Chairman of Newry City AFC.

Following Martin’s decision not to seek re-election to his long serving role as Chairman, NCAFC are pleased to announce that, at this year’s Club AGM, Darren Mullen has been elected unopposed as Club Chairman.

 

Darren’s affinity and passion for the club has been apparent for all to see having served as trustee and twice as first team manager since the Club reformed in 2013. We are delighted that the club will continue to be in safe hands through the challenging and, no doubt, rewarding times ahead.

The Club once again thank Martin for his loyal service as Chairman since the club reformed. He will continue as a member of the Management Committee and Development Team and has recently taken on stewardship of the club’s Academy Lottery which is due to be available online shortly, as well as via the usual outlets.

 

 

The Club will now, under Darren’s leadership, focus on the twin goals of continuing the development of the ground into a state-of-the-art facility for the community and getting back to the level of football at which everyone believes we should be playing.

 

Chairman Darren Mullen commented “I’m delighted and honoured to be voted in as Chairman of the club. “Everyone knows how much Newry City means to me and I know there is a serious amount of work to be done both on and off the pitch.

“My role is now to make sure that off the pitch is as successful as possible to bring that on-field success.

“I want to assure the Newry City fans that I will give everything I have within this role to make that happen. That process has already started and I’m looking forward to the challenges ahead along with everyone else at the club.”
