Good luck to both sets of lads!

Paudie signs for City

Along with securing the services of Marty Havern, Newry City have also added the experienced Paudie Smith to the squad. Commenting on the signing, Newry Manager Darren Mullen said “Paudie is a terrific signing for us and comes with plenty of premiership experience. Whilst most of our signings have been lads in their late teens and early twenties we are going to need experienced players to help them along. It will be a tough physical league and someone like Paudie will be of great benefit to us. Apart from a few lads on trial I expect that to be the end of our signings and I’m now looking forward to preseason.”
Paudie Smith ‘I just want to say I’m delighted to be joining Newry. I’m looking forward to the challenge and for us to be pushing for promotion. There are some really good players at the club and there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be up there come the end of the season.’

Havern returns to The Showgrounds

Newry manager Darren Mullen is delighted to add Marty Havern to his list of summer signings “To get a player of Marty’s calibre back at the club is a big boost for us. He is another one of the 2012 squad to return to the club and brings a wealth of experience including at Premiership level. His enthusiasm to play at The Showgrounds again was evident and he joins what is already a strong strike force. I’m sure the fans will also be delighted to see how hard we have been working to secure the best players available to us for the coming season.”

 

Marty Havern “I’m delighted to have signed back for Newry. I’ve won trophies and played in the top flight before with the club, and I know that’s where the club aspires to be again and I want to be part of it.”
