Twenty one year old goalkeeper Gareth Buchanan is the first new addition to Darren Murphy’s squad for the 2013/14 season at Stangmore Park. The former Banbridge Town, Newry City and Loughgall keeper from Gilford, who has signed a two year deal, is relishing the challenge that lies ahead of him at the Swifts.
“Darren sold the club very well to me in every aspect. The attraction of Premiership football was obviously a large selling point to bring me to this great wee club. I already know some of the lads that play here which is an added bonus and I am really looking forward to getting involved with the entire squad in pre-season”, said Buchanan speaking to the club website.
We would like to welcome Gareth to Stangmore Park and wish him every success in a Swifts Shirt.

Midfielder Ryan Harpur has signed a new deal at the club which will see him play for the Swifts for another two seasons.
Swifts manager Darren Murphy is over the moon that 24 year old Ryan has agreed to remain at Stangmore Park…
“Ryan joined the Swifts from Glenavon in December 2011 after being released by the Lurgan side. He has since went on to establish himself into one of our more senior players who’s experience and knowhow of Irish League football will hopefully help develop some of the younger players coming through. I’m delighted that Ryan has decided to stay after interest shown in him from other Irish League clubs. Ryan chose to remain loyal to Dungannon Swifts when in the past other players have left Stangmore to move to other clubs when interest was expressed in them”.
The new deal for Harpur comes as another great boost for the club as a whole. Ryan is now the sixth player to commit himself for a further two years, Grant Hutchinson, Fra Brennan, Matthew Hazley, Cameron Grieve and Michael McKerr having done likewise in March of this year.
In other transfer news Dungannon Swifts have been given permission by Loughgall to speak to goalkeeper Gareth Buchanan and centre half Ricky Copeland.
