It is with great pleasure that we can announce midfielder Kris Lowe has signed a 3 year extension to his current contract.
“I am delighted that Kris has signed a 3 year extension. This season especially Kris has shown his qualities which has seen him be a regular starter. He’s only young and he’s going to keep getting better and better for Dungannon Swifts!” – Head Coach Rodney McAree.
Kris spoke of his own delight regarding his new deal;
“I’m absolutely delighted to have signed a new contract at Dungannon Swifts. Dungannon is a special club to me as I am at the club almost 10 years having come through the youth system learning to play football the right way. I feel as if Dungannon is in a very good place at the moment as the club is moving forward and I want to be a big part of that. Rod has put a lot of faith in me and I want to repay him by helping to create more success stories like our League Cup triumph on Saturday past.”
Congratulations Kris!
