Transfer News: Türker signs for Swifts

by DSFC Media | Jan 22, 2014 | Uncategorized

The latest addition to the squad at Stangmore Park comes in the form of goalkeeper – Berraat Türker. The 22 year old German joins the club having played for Monaghan United and Dundalk in the League of Ireland. At 6’2″ Berraat (known as Brat) is a welcome addition to the Club and will provide some healthy competition for our current number one keeper, Buchanan.

Türker, who works as a part-time model, has expressed great enthusiasm at signing for the Swifts;

“I am delighted to receive the fantastic opportunity to sign for Dungannon Swifts. It is a massive chance for me to prove myself at this level and I am really looking forward to getting involved with the club. My dream starts now!”

Speaking about his fourth signing of the January transfer window, Darren Murphy said;

“We have been in the market for a goalkeeper and a good friend of Dungannon Swifts, John Heffernan, contacted Joe McAree and informed him there was a goalkeeper in Monaghan that we should have a look at. Berraat has trained with us the last two weeks and we are delighted he has signed a contract until the end of the season. He will come in and work alongside Gareth who has done a fantastic job from the start of the season. Hopefully both lads will continue to develop under the expert coaching of Brian Hutchinson our current goalkeeping coach”.

Welcome to Stangmore Park Brat and we wish you every success.

Transfer News: Brolly & Costello

by DSFC Media | Jan 10, 2014 | Uncategorized

Former Swifts player Marc Brolly has re-joined us at Stangmore Park. Winger Brolly left the Club to sign for Derry City and had a spell with Finn Harps before finding his way back to Dungannon.  The 27 year old brings with him experience from the League of Ireland and will provide healthy competition for places at Stangmore.

Murphy has stated how Marc signing for the club actually happened by chance;

“On Marcs arrival back at the club it came somewhat out of the blue. Marc contacted Rod and asked would it be possible for him to train with us and he has impressed over the last number of weeks, so we offered him a contract. Marc is technically very good and has bags of pace. He can play on either wing or through the middle so he gives us a few more attacking options. Hopefully he will prove to be a valuable asset to the squad.”

Leaving Stangmore Park is striker James Costello who joined us this time last year from Ballymena United. Murphy has expressed grateful thanks to James for his time spent with us.

“I’d like to thank James who did well in his time at Dungannon Swifts. He scored some important goals last season that helped us secure 10 years in the Premier League. I wish him every success at Loughgall FC. He was a pleasure to work with and we parted on good terms as James has a burning desire to play first team football, which unfortunately I was unable to guarantee him.”

We would like to take the opportunity to wish Marc all the best back at Stangmore and to thank James for all his services to the Club. Good luck to both lads.
