New signing Gary Liggett pictured alongside Manager Darren Murphy and Vice Chairman Jarlath Faloon.
Former Ballymena United Striker Gary Liggett has signed a two and a half year deal at the club. Twenty Six year old Liggett, described as a big, strong, powerful boy by Murphy will be a terrific addition to our squad along with our other January signing Jamie Tomelty.
Murphy stated, “Gary hasn’t had a great spell at Ballymena but I feel that I will be able to get more out of him and reach his potential. Dungannon is a very homely club and hopefully this will also be a beneficial factor in helping us settle Gary into enjoying his football here. I believe in him and that he will scored goals. I don’t like to put pressure on the boys, I prefer them to prove themselves. I will encourage Gary like I do the rest of the boys, to play with a smile on his face and enjoy his football like he did when he was a 11/12 year old boy. I’m delighted to have him on board.”
Gary has expressed how he is “really looking forward to a fresh start at Dungannon and can’t wait to get involved. Hopefully I can repay the supporters and management with goals.”
In other news transfer news Darren Murphy this morning released the welcoming news that Swifts defender Dermot McCaffrey has signed a new 18 month contract and fellow defender Cameron Grieve has agreed a new one year extension to his current contract.
“As a club we are absolutely delighted that Dermy has agreed to stay for a further 18 months. It gives us a real boost. Like Dermy, Cameron has been superb since his move from Glenavon and I am delighted that Cameron sees his future at Dungannon Swifts,” said Murphy.
Glentoran had expressed interest in McCaffrey after sending letters to enquire about him to both the player and the Club. However, Dermy has chosen to remain at the Swifts, where he played football as a youngster, for the foreseeable future.
