Kris Lindsay, has moved to make his first signing as Manager of Dungannon Swifts Football Club. We are delighted to welcome former Irish League star, Diarmuid O’Carroll to Stangmore Park.

Thirty one year old, Killarney native, O’Carroll, has recently returned from working in America and as ‘an out of contract pro’ has agreed to sign for DSFC on a short term deal. The forward will therefore be included in our squad to play Glentoran, at Stangmore Park, this Saturday.

“I am delighted to sign for a Club and a Manager that I’ve massive respect for. Whether it be for only 1 game or 5, I’ll try my best to help the team out as much as I can. I’m really looking forward to playing with the boys and hopefully helping to get the team up the table.” said O’Carroll

Speaking about his first signing, Manager Kris Lindsay had this to say;

“I am obviously delighted to get Diarmuid on board with us. Diarmuid has great experience in Irish League Football and also has the winning mentally, which he has proved throughout his career, with plenty of silverware to his name. He is able to come straight into the squad as he is an out of contract pro, which is super news for us. I am really looking forward to seeing what he can do on the pitch . Obviously with Daniel Hughes currently out injured we have limited options up front and Diarmuid will certainly give us an added boost!” 

Hopefully you will all come out in big numbers to support the team and our new signing Diarmuid on Saturday.

Welcome to Stangmore Park, Diarmuid.
