Dungannon Swifts are pleased to announce the signing of sixteen year old goalkeeper, Conner Byrne, from Glenavon FC. Conner will be joining as U18/20 Development goalkeeper with great prospects ahead of him. He has represented Northern Ireland at Under age level up to U17.
“I wanted to get more game time and an opportunity with the first team. This is a great Club and I’d love to push through into the first team and get a regular spot with them, even if it’s on the bench to start.”
New Academy Signing – Conner Byrne
Head of Development Dixie Robinson is happy to have got Conner to Stangmore Park.
“I am delighted to have Conner on board, he’s a player we’ve always admired and we have kept an eye on his progress over the last couple of seasons. Obviously we know he has played a first team game with Glenavon, won a Mid Ulster Cup and I feel he is a massive asset to the club. It was fantastic to know that he wanted to join us and he can see that he has a future here. I think he can push on and become one of the best goalkeepers in the Irish League, if not better than that. He is a tremendous athlete and he has all the attributes to be a top, top player.”
Head of Development – Dixie Robinson
Welcome on board, Conner.
