Darren Mullen & James Teelan Signing

James Teelan Signs at The Showgrounds

Newry Manager Darren Mullen is delighted to add the talented James Teelan to his squad “James is a young player with huge potential and a very welcome addition to our squad. He has serious pace along with an eye for goal and having played in the Premiership with Dungannon he’s well prepared for senior football. I’m delighted he has chosen to sign for us and look forward to seeing him in a Newry jersey.”

James commented “I am very happy to sign for Newry City. I’ve only been around the club a couple of weeks but have settled in well. There’s a lot of good players here and I’m sure we will be pushing for promotion. For now it’s just a matter of working hard in pre-season and making sure we hit the ground running when the season starts.”

NIFL TO SUPPLY NEWRY CITY WITH NEW DEFIBRILLATOR

NIFL TO SUPPLY NEWRY CITY WITH NEW DEFIBRILLATOR

“On behalf of Newry City AFC I would like to thank the NI Football League for supplying a defibrillator to us and our fellow member clubs.

We already knew the importance of this piece of equipment and it’s worth was reinforced at the Euros.

With volunteers at the club already trained in the use of defibrillators it is fantastic to receive this from NIFL to help our players, staff & supporters feel safe at The Showgrounds although hopefully we will not need to put it to use.” Newry City AFC Chairman Martin McLoughlin

 

Press Release from the NI Football League….

The NI Football League can reveal that all member clubs including Newry City will be provided with life-saving defibrillators ahead of the new season.

Following the distressing events at Euro 2020 in Denmark, a risk assessment by the NIFL Board outlined a desire to protect all our clubs to potentially help save the life of someone experiencing a sudden cardiac arrest.

As a result, new defibrillators will be provided to 41 clubs within the NI Football League membership, including all teams in the Premiership, Championship, Premier Intermediate League and Women’s Premiership.

NIFL Chairman Gerard Lawlor said;

“The role of the NI Football League is not just to govern but to serve and protect our membership, and this is an important service that we can offer to our clubs to protect players, supporters and staff.

“Everyone in football got a real shock at the events in Denmark a few weeks ago, so if this project saves one life over a period of time, we simply can’t put a value on that.”

“The health and welfare of the people connected with our clubs is paramount and sincere thanks to my colleagues on the NIFL Board for their support in delivering this vital support.”
