Darren Murphy has moved swiftly to secure another two signatures less that 24 hours after his double signing of Burke and Montgomery last night. Today we bring the news that former Swifts favourite Ryan Mullan returns to Stangmore Park along with a completely new addition in the form of wide man Alan Teggart.
Ryan Mullan first joined the Swifts in the summer transfer window of 2008, after spending 3 seasons with the club Ryan had to leave due to work commitments preventing him from devoting as much time as he had wished to playing for the club. Ryan went out on loan to Limavady for the remainder of the 2012 season. He did return for a brief spell at the start of the following season however as mentioned things didn’t work out with him working in London so he signed for Limavady United permanently . Ryan has now returned to work in Northern Ireland and is absolutely buzzing to be coming back to rejoin Dungannon Swifts after his spell away.
Ryan is not the only delighted person as Darren Murphy is over the moon to have the 26 year old defender sign on the dotted line,
“Ryan is back for his second spell at the club. He is one of the best centre backs I have worked with. So I am delighted to have the opportunity to work with him again. He will bring leadership with him to the squad which will be an added boost for us.”
Alan Teggart joins the club from Ballymena United where he spent four seasons with them arriving from our neighbours Portadown in 2011. Twenty eight year old Teggart who plays as a wide man chipped in with his fair share of goals over the years at Ballymena United. Having played for only Portadown and Ballymena United the Markethill man brings with him great integrity, showing loyalty to both clubs which will also be portrayed in his future Swifts career.
“I am delighted Alan has agreed to come on board. It is an area of the pitch that we need strengthened. Ally has a wealth of Irish League experience and will bring a great deal to the squad.” said Murphy
We welcome Ryan back and welcome Alan to Stangmore Park, wishing them both success in their Swifts careers. Good luck boys!
