Chairman, Keith Boyd. (Standing).
Kris Lindsay has completed the signing of attacking player, Craig Taylor, from Annagh United. Craig played most of his Youth football at Portadown, but spent two seasons with Dungannon at U14/15 level. He has been on the first team books at both Loughgall FC and Annagh United and is also a talented futsal player, for the Senior Men’s Northern Ireland team.
Nineteen year old Craig, who’s preferred position is left wing, can play in any of the attacking positions as well as left back. He will certainly bring some fresh competition to the squad in these areas of the pitch.
“It feels great to sign for Dungannon Swifts. From the time I spent at Dungannon United Youth I already know it’s a great family Club and that’s something I value. Big Kris (Lindsay) sold the club to me talking to him a while ago. Also, I’ve know both him and Chris Wright for a long time so I know that the training is going to be a top standard and exactly what to expect from them!
Playing futsal regularly has helped me with my first touch, close control and my awareness in tighter situations. Personally, I want to try and establish myself as a regular in the team and do whatever I can to help Dungannon do as best as possible. I will also help to ensure we finish as high as we possibly can in the League.”
NEW SIGNING – Craig Taylor
Manager, Kris Lindsay is delighted to get Craig signed up, ahead of preseason which will be commencing in just over a couple of weeks.
“Craig has come from Annagh United where he has had an excellent season. He is an attacking player with pace and a great left foot. Craig is one I’m looking forward to working with and giving him the opportunity to progress and show his talent in the top league. He is another player who is young, and hungry to succeed and one I’m excited to be working with.”
