Swifts Manager, Rodney McAree with new signing, Gael Bigirimana.

Dungannon Swifts are thrilled to announce the permanent signing of Gael Bigirimana, the creative central midfielder who played on loan with the team last season. At 31 years old, Bigirimana’s move to Dungannon has become permanent, marking an exciting new chapter for both the player and the club.

Bigirimana, a talented Burundian footballer, has settled well into life at Dungannon. His love for the club and the town, combined with the happiness of his family, has influenced his decision to stay. Despite interest from clubs across the water and another Irish League club, Bigirimana chose to remain at Stangmore Park, demonstrating his commitment and passion for Dungannon Swifts.

Known for his creativity on the field, Bigirimana has already made a significant impact during his loan spell. His permanent signing is a moment of celebration for everyone at the club. As he continues to wear the number 34 shirt, Bigirimana is eager to give back to the club and looks forward to the upcoming season and its challenges.

Welcome to Stangmore Park, Bigi!

NEW SIGNING | Bobby Jack McAleese

by DSFC Media | Jul 11, 2024 | Uncategorized

Dungannon Swifts have made an exciting addition to their squad with the signing of central midfielder Bobby Jack McAleese. Known for his dynamic box-to-box style, McAleese’s football journey is marked by determination and resilience. He began his career with Bertie Peacock Youth, showing early promise that led him to Coleraine FC. His talent soon caught the eye of Nottingham Forest, where he continued his development.

However, McAleese faced significant challenges, including an injury setback and the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. These hurdles prompted a return home, where he played for Portstewart FC and then Glebe Rangers, steadily rebuilding his career.

The move to Dungannon Swifts represents a fresh start and a new opportunity for McAleese, facilitated by John Gregg’s support in helping to gain the move for him. His versatility and relentless work ethic make him a valuable asset for the team, and fans will be eager to see how he impacts the squad in the upcoming season. We got a taste of his ability last week at Rathfriland Rangers and hopefully we will see lots more during the season ahead.

Welcome to Stangmore Park, Bobby Jack. Bobby Jack will wear the Number 22 jersey.

Congratulations to Padraig Lynch who has been rewarded, for all his hard work, with his first professional contract at Dungannon Swifts Football Club. This is fantastic news for the eighteen year old forward who is a very dedicated player.

“Since arriving through the doors of DUY indoor community programme as a 7 year old it didn’t take long for us to realise that Padraig was a talented young lad. He always had a great football brain and an eye for scoring all types of goals from those early days and this has continued right up until now as he has scored 30 goals already this season. We are delighted to see Padraig get his first professional contract with the club and I have no doubt that he will have a very good future ahead of him. “
