McAree has had Owens on his radar for a while now,
“Niall broke through into the first team at Ballinamallard United as an 18 year old and done very well before going to America on a Scholarship. Niall is someone I have kept an eye on since he left the Irish League. I really look forward to working along with him.”

We are delighted to announce that twenty year old, Adam Glenny, has returned to the Club after his loan spell at Annagh United.

Welcome back Adam, we wish you every success in a Swifts shirt.
After the announcement of contract news earlier on today we can bring the good news that a former Dungannon United Youth and Swifts favourite returns to Stangmore Park.
After four seasons away at Crusaders, Christopher Hegarty, has made the move back to his hometown Club.
Hegarty, thirty, of course is no stranger to Stangmore Park, having come through the ranks at DUY before heading across the water. Hegarty was part of our 2018 League Cup Winning squad and now re-joins us from Crusaders, he comes off the back of lots of success with the North Belfast side but he still has plenty to prove.
We take the opportunity to welcome Christopher back to Stangmore Park and wish him every success.

We would like to take the opportunity to wish the following players well in their future footballing careers. We also thank them for their commitment to DSFC when playing for our Club. Thank you.
Rodney McAree has moved to make his first new signing since returning as Swifts Manager. Goalkeeper, Conor Mitchell, signed on the dotted line at Stangmore Park.
The twenty seven year old shot stopper joins us at Stangmore Park to bolster our goalkeeping options. Rodney McAree is delighted with his new signing who played the last two seasons with Warrenpoint Town. He is a former Northern Ireland goalkeeper who has been on the books of Linfield, St Johnstone and Burnley.
“Conor has got good experience, he’s got great presence, he’s a good organiser and he talks very well. His professionalism around training and how he conducts himself is second to none, so he’ll certainly bring good competition along with Decky (Dunne). There’s already a very good GK at the Club in Decky. Someone who I thought done every well in the play off games but ultimately we can’t rely on one good goalkeeper to get us through the course of a season. We have to look and try and bring in more quality and we have done that along with Conor. We are looking forward to working with him.”
