Newry City AFC are pleased to welcome Kevin McArdle to the club.

Kevin was introduced to  the club by newly appointed club scout Robbie Casey, speaking to newrycityafc.co.uk Robbie commented “My first player in my new role with the club is the talented midfielder Kevin McArdle. Kevin will add a lot of experience to the current squad as he has previously played at Dundalk and was also an Irish international at u18 level.

He was playing at Rock Celtic last season but felt he needed to challenge himself at a higher level. He will certainly get that challenge Newry.

I wish Kevin all the best for rest of season and I’m sure he will add quality to what is a very strong squad at present.”

Newry Manager Darren Mullen added “I’m delighted to be signing someone of Kevin’s quality. When Robbie first mentioned his name I contacted coaching staff at Dundalk and other lads who have played with him. They all came back with positive news about Kevin both in terms of ability and attitude and all mentioned the word ‘quality’. He has been at Shelbourne and Dundalk so comes with plenty of experience. We have been doing well this season but that won’t stop me from making additions to the squad that I feel can take us onto the next level. Kevin can play in several positions and I’m looking forward to seeing him in a Newry shirt.”
