Everyone at Newry City AFC would like to extend their deepest sympathy to the family of former player Michael McCaughey who tragically passed away yesterday. Michael was a hugely popular player at The Showgrounds during several spells.

Newry City AFC manager Darren Mullen, who managed Michael last season, said: “Micky was a great lad and a terrific character to have about the team. He will be badly missed by all those who knew him and our thoughts are with his family at this time.”
