Goalkeeper Andy Coleman is the eighth player to sign an extension to his contract at Dungannon Swifts since January. Coleman signed on the dotted line last night for a further two years and is delighted to be remaining at the club for at least the next two seasons. He joins the list of Ryan Harpur, Grant Hutchinson, Jamie Douglas, Andrew Mitchell, David Armstrong, Matthew Hazley and Dougie Wilson who have all recently penned new deals.
Speaking to us today Andy said,
“I couldn’t be happier to sign my extension for the club. There are twelve goalkeepers who get to play top flight football every Saturday and I certainly dont take it for granted how lucky I am to be one of them every week! Dungannon have one of the best training facilities in Ireland with 3 outdoor 3G pitches and one indoor pitch, plus a gym and spinning facilities if needed, so as players we are spoilt to have those. Also we train with the best footballing coach I’ve worked with in ten years in the Irish league (Rodney). He puts on the most unbelieveable sessions every Tuesday and Thursday, a coach who I believe will coach at a top level in England. The youth system is also top notch at Dungannon United Youth, so all in all the future is bright and I can’t wait to be part off it.”
First team coach Rodney McAree expressed his delight to us regards signing Andy for a further two years…
“It’s great news that Andy has committed to the club for a further 2 seasons, he’s proved a super addition to the squad, he has many qualities as a goal keeper, his distribution for me is 2nd to none and for our style of play he suits perfect! More great news for the swifts on the back of recent contract extensions!”
We are overjoyed that Andy and the rest of the players are enjoying their days at Stangmore park and as Andy said , THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT!!
Congratulations and best wishes Andy in your future Swifts career.
