Manager, Dean Shiels, has swooped to make his third signing of the summer bringing in experienced centre half Dean Curry.
I’m delighted to sign Dean. He brings quality to the team, he brings balance being left sided and most of all be brings a willingness to defend. We leaked a lot of goals last season and with his addition to the squad i can see him being a big player for us.
Our scouts watched him multiple times last season and he was a standout in the Championship so I’m looking forward to working with Dean and hopefully he will be a big player for us for the upcoming season”
Dean Shiels – Dungannon Swifts Manager
Curry, 27, joins the Swifts from Championship side Ballinamallard United having previuosly been on the books of Insititute FC where he gained Danske Bank Premiership experience captaining the side. He has also been previously registered to Newbuildings United
Last season, Curry made 32 Championship appearances scoring 1 goal while playing for the Ferney Park outfit.
“I’m glad to have signed and delighted to be back playing in the Premiership with Dungannon. There is a good, young side here which like to play out from the back which will suit my game but most of all I am looking forward to get going with the boys.
We conceded a lot of goals last year so hopefully I will be able to bolster up the defence this season and at 27, I’m coming into my prime and I will be looking to cement my place in the starting XI but there is good, healthy competition with Cahal, Dylan and Garry.”
