“Of course it’s great to be offered a contract extension and it would be hard to turn down. I’m settling in well at Dungannon and don’t see myself at any other club at this point in my career. I aim to get more game time this season and progress as a player. I’m really looking forward to the rest of the season and progressing under Kris Lindsay and the coaching staff.” BEN GALLAGHER

“I’m delighted to get Ben to sign a contract extension. He is a talented, talented young man, who has done very well in his fleeting appearances for the first team so far. He has got massive amounts of potential and I’m excited to see what Ben brings over the coming months and coming seasons. It’s up to him now to continue that development and to work hard, he’s got all the attributes to be a top, top player. As I said I am delighted to get him secure for the next number of years and see what it brings.” Manager – KRIS LINDSAY
