Manager, Kris Lindsay has strengthened his squad with his second signing of the window. Midfielder, Shane McGinty, has joined the Club form Ballymena United.
Lindsay had this to say about his new signing, “I’m absolutely delighted to get Shane over the line, he’s a quality player and he will give us options in midfield and going forward. He is still relatively young, at 25 years old, but he’s a lot of experience. He’ll boost our squad greatly, add to our options and he’ll give us a freshen up, which is much needed leading up to the run in. I’m really looking forward to seeing the quality he will bring with him to Stangmore and getting to work with him on the training pitch.”
More to follow tomorrow from Shane, who will go straight into the squad for our fixture against Institute FC, at Stangmore Park. Kick off 15:00. Shane will wear the number 46 jersey.

Lindsay has agreed terms with former Patrick Thistle, Sligo Rovers and Finn Harps winger, Caolan McAleer, to sign for Dungannon Swifts. Caolan will be available for selection from January.
“I played at Dungannon United Youth when I was younger so I know what the Club is all about. It’s a Tyrone team, I’m from Tyrone and I’ve always kept an eye out to see how they’ve been doing. I am hoping that I can add excitement and hard work but also chip in with goals and assists to the team. Personally at a team level I want to get the Club up as high as possible in the league and away from the current league position.”New Signing – Caolan McAleer
“I am delighted to get Caolan McAleer over the line and signed for the next 18 months. He is a quality addition to the squad, he will give us more options in forward areas and brings that little bit of experience to the squad that we are lacking a little bit. He has been playing in the league of Ireland. I am excited to get working with him and seeing what he can do, come the New Year when he can play. He’s a good lad, he has been training with us the last couple of weeks. His quality is shining through in training with the other lads. We will look to freshen the squad up in January and hopefully Caolan will be the first of a couple go signings, that we can get in across the line, to try and push us on!” Manager – Kris Lindsay
Welcome back to Dungannon, Caolan, and to Stangmore Park in particular. We wish you every success in a Dungannon Shirt.
