Tomelty, who was recently playing for Coagh United, made his return to Stangmore Park in our 1-0 defeat to Glentoran yesterday as a second half sub. Tomelty previously played for us between 2006 and 2007 and has since had spells at Linfield, Portadown and Coleraine. He returned to his home town club in the summer after agreeing his release from the Bannsiders after less than six months with the club and has now completed his much anticipated move back to the Premiership. “Jamie knows the league and he’s a good player and the more good players we have the better. You always have to try to improve your squad as a manager and we are no different here at Dungannon. If good players become available and we can afford them then you want to try and bring them in. Jamie fell into the category of being a top Irish League player and obviously he is a good signing who I am delighted to have on board. I feel that I can bring the best out in Jamie and help him enjoy his football again. At 29 years old Jamie should be at his prime and I plan to ensure he tries to the best of his ability to reach it.” Said Swifts Manager Darren Murphy. Jamie has trained with the club on a few occasions over the past weeks and has expressed great enthusiasm; “I can’t wait to get back involved, the training facilities we have here now are unreal. We can get out there at training on the 3G pitch, get the ball on the ground and do a lot of ball work. I am so happy that this move worked out and hopefully I can get a run out against Glentoran today. I would like to thank everyone who made my return to Stangmore possible, especially Murph. Cheers” Welcome back to Stangmore Park Jamie and all the best from everyone at DSFC.
