Newry City are delighted to announce the signing of Kane Rossiter.

The 24-year-old striker joins his hometown club after a highly impressive season with Camlough Rovers in the Carnbane League, where he scored 54 goals in just 32 games.

Having impressed in training and our three pre-season matches to date, Kane is delighted to have made the move to The Showgrounds.

“I’m absolutely buzzing to join Newry. Being from the town and getting to pull on the jersey means a lot to me,” he said.

“When I first talked to Stuarty, his vision for the club and his passion really sold me. I’m looking forward to pushing on now with this group of lads and getting stuck into the new season.

“It’s a big step up for me personally, coming from Camlough Rovers in the Carnbane League, but I’m excited for the challenge and hopefully I can help put some pride back into Newry football, and hopefully score a few goals on the way,” Kane added.

Assistant Manager Ryan Moffatt added: “We’re delighted to get Kane on board, especially as we know there was a lot of interest in his signature, including from teams in higher leagues.

“We’re pleased he has chosen Newry. He’s a Newry lad and has done very well in the Carnbane League, where his goalscoring record speaks for itself.”

Newry City AFC are delighted to announce the signing of Cormac McNally.

The 19-year-old midfielder arrives after a spell with FC Mindwell in the Mid-Ulster League.

He previously captained Glenavon Under-20s and made his first team debut for the Mourneview Park side before a spell at Banbridge Town.

“Cormac is someone we have tracked for quite a while,” revealed First-Team Manager Stuart King.

“He has massive potential and has the drive to do really well. Pixie (Ryan Moffatt, Assistant Manager) has coached him from a young age and we are both delighted he has chosen to come to Newry when he had other options.”

“As soon as I spoke to Stuarty about signing, my eyes lit up at coming to a big club like Newry,” said McNally.

“I’m looking forward to getting started and hitting the ground running.

“The aim is to play my part in getting Newry back up the leagues where a club of this size should be.”

We are delighted to announce the signing of goalkeeper Jason Craughwell from Annagh United

The 28-year-old spent the last two seasons with Annagh, helping them to the Premiership promotion play-off in both campaigns.

Last season, he kept 13 clean sheets in 27 Championship matches for the Portadown side.

Overall, Jason made 72 appearances, keeping 28 clean sheets, the most of any keeper in the division in each of the last two seasons.

“Jason is someone we earmarked at the start about the possibility of signing, so we are delighted to get him on board,” said Assistant Manager Ryan Moffatt.

“I know him very well from playing together and I know how much of a top keeper he is.

“Jason showed the desire we want to join the club and be a part of the project we’re building at the club and we can’t wait to get going.”

“The stature of the club and Stuarty and Pixie bring involved made it an easy sell,” said Craughwell.

“You can see there’s a feelgood factor back at the club already, with the new managerial team and the signings. It was a no-brainer.

“The facilities here are top-notch and I just can’t wait to get started now.”

We would like to place on record our thanks to Ciaran McGurgan at Annagh United for his co-operation in this transfer.
