Dungannon Swifts FC is delighted to announce the signings of Ross Redman and Sean Noble.
Ross Redman, 29, joins the Swifts after he was placed on the Transfer list at Glentoran FC. The defender had spent the last three seasons at The Oval, making 104 first team appearances, after signing from Portadown FC in June 2016 and will add a wealth of experience to the Squad.
Sean Noble, 23, has joined the club after spells with Ballinamallard FC and most recently Ards but unfortunately suffered a bad injury to his ACL in the second game of last season which ruled him out for a year so he is chomping at the bit to get started wearing the blue of Dungannon Swifts FC.
“I’m delighted to sign here, it’s a great club and you can see from the start of the season that there is a lot of quality here. Luckily enough I have already played with a lot of the players in the squad so hopefully its going to be very easy settling in with the lads and I’m really looking forward to getting started.
“I’ve known Kris for 10-12 years and as soon as I heard what Kris’ project was I was immediately sold and I was delighted to come down. Obviously, I’ve been out injured since the end of last year so I’m really looking forward to getting game time and hopefully can help the club push on.”

“I’m raring to go at Dungannon as I have been out injured for a year. I got injured in the second game of the season against Glentoran which was a set back but my main aim is to get myself back fit and scoring goals when given the opportunity.
“The style of football attracted me to the Swifts as they like to play an expansive, attacking game but also keeping it tight at the back. I like to run in behind defenders and with the quality of passers that Dungannon possess in the midfield will only benefit me scoring goals.
“I can definitely see the top 6 of the league being within reach for the club and a good run in either of the cup competitions would be even better, but we don’t want to get ahead of ourselves and get too over optimistic, we’ll just take each game as it comes.”

A delighted Kris Lindsay had this to say about his latest additions;
“Yeah, I’m delighted to get Ross and Sean signed and over the line. Ross will bring good experience into the squad having been about the Irish League for quite some time and its a position we are a little bit short on at full back. Ross will have a little point to prove and is looking a fresh challenge and hopefully we will give that to him. l would like to thank Glentoran for working with us to get the deal over the line.
“Sean is a forward player. Big, strong and athletic and with lots of quality but has been unfortunate with injury after hurting his ACL in the second game of last season with Ards. He will add strength and depth to our squad in the forward areas and I’m delighted to get him on board.
“I’m really looking forward to working with them both and seeing them both in Dungannon Swifts jerseys.”
