New signing, Goalkeeper Alex Moore, pictured along with Head Coach, Rodney McAree
As the Kick off for the Danske Bank Premiership draws near, Rodney McAree has boosted his squad with the signing of a goalkeeper. Nineteen year old Lisburn native, Alex Moore, joins us at Stangmore Park from Linfield FC, on loan.
Moore has been part of Linfield Football Club since he was six years old and has worked his way through the entire Youth Academy to feature for the First Team last season on various occasions. He has also been involved with Northern Ireland Under Age Squads, most recently the NI U21 training camp.
Speaking about his new signing, McAree said;
“I’m delighted to bring Alex to Dungannon Swifts on loan from Linfield. He has already made senior appearances for Linfield and I’m looking forward to giving him the opportunity of gaining more experience of playing premiership football with ourselves.
“Alex, at 19 years of age, is a terrific talent who has great feet and will suit how we try to play the game. I’m genuinely very excited about bringing him on board and look forward to watching him develop.”
Alex is excited to be joining Dungannon Swifts;
“I’ve always wanted to play games, especially in the premiership, and thankfully Rodney has given me the opportunity to do that and as soon as I found out the chance to go on loan I couldn’t turn it down.
“Working under Roy Carroll helped me massively, with his pedigree as a goalkeeper and wealth of experience, in training and in matches and just being around him gave me great help towards my development.
“This season I would like to hold down the number 1 spot and hopefully finish as high up the table as possible and do as well as I can for the club and the team.”
