Swifts Manager, Rodney McAree with new signing, Gael Bigirimana.
Dungannon Swifts are thrilled to announce the permanent signing of Gael Bigirimana, the creative central midfielder who played on loan with the team last season. At 31 years old, Bigirimana’s move to Dungannon has become permanent, marking an exciting new chapter for both the player and the club.
Bigirimana, a talented Burundian footballer, has settled well into life at Dungannon. His love for the club and the town, combined with the happiness of his family, has influenced his decision to stay. Despite interest from clubs across the water and another Irish League club, Bigirimana chose to remain at Stangmore Park, demonstrating his commitment and passion for Dungannon Swifts.
Known for his creativity on the field, Bigirimana has already made a significant impact during his loan spell. His permanent signing is a moment of celebration for everyone at the club. As he continues to wear the number 34 shirt, Bigirimana is eager to give back to the club and looks forward to the upcoming season and its challenges.
