In preparation for the forthcoming season Newry Manager Gary Boyle has added to his strike force with the addition of Lee Newell.

Gary commented “Lee comes in to us off the back of a very successful stint at Rathfriland. A goal scorer who provides the team with a slightly different attacking dimension whilst complementing the attacking players we have at the club. Another relatively local talent, who, at 26, is ready to kick on with the next chapter of his career.

A great character whose personality and attitude are in tune with the core values of our club; he will fit into the group seamlessly. I know he can’t wait to get going!”

Newell commented “I am delighted to be signing for Newry City and can’t wait to get started. I’m looking forward to the season ahead and will be working hard to hit the ground running.

There is a great atmosphere around the club and I’m excited to be a part of that and help the club push on to achieve the goals set for this season.”
