Kris Lindsay has bolstered his squad with the addition of Centre Half, Dylan King. The twenty year old, Northern Ireland Youth International, has put pen to paper on a two year deal after being released from Coleraine FC, where he spent the second half of least season.
King has previously been on the books of institute FC back in 2015 before making the move across the water to Oldham Athletic, where be played for their Under 18 team. After a spell with the League Two club, King then moved up north to Motherwell, Scotland, where he spent a year at SPFL sides U20 set-up before making the move back to the Irish League, to Glenavon FC.
Tyrone lad, King, is happy to have signed for the only Premier League Club in his County;
“A big influence for me to come to Dungannon is obviously Kris, the Manager. I worked with him at Glenavon. We had a great relationship in the past and hopefully that can carry on through here at Dungannon. I just really want to get my foot in the door, get a starting place and nail down a shirt. Hopefully I will kick on from there as I’ve been in and out of the team at the last two clubs I have been at. I want to concentrate on getting regular games and cut out any silly mistakes, trying to improve my consistency. Forming good relationships with the players around you at centre half is also important, especially with the goalkeeper, these are things I plan to work on to improve my own personal game. My main aim is to enjoy the season with Dungannon and see where it takes us.”
New signing – Dylan King
Manager Kris Lindsay is delighted to have got Dylan to sign on the dotted line.
I am delighted to get Dylan over the line. I’ve known Dylan for a while now since my time at Glenavon. Unfortunately it didn’t work out for him at Glenavon and Coleraine but hopefully we will now give him that platform to play games of football and realise his potential. Dylan has got all the attributes to be a top, top centre half. It’s about playing games for Dylan and we can give him that opportunity. I’ve no doubts he will grow into be a good, good centre half. I am looking forward to working with Dylan.
