Newry manager Gary Boyle has bolstered his squad with the signing of goalkeeper Tom Murphy.

Boyle commented “Tom is another fantastic signing. He is young, extremely talented and feels he has a point to prove. He has bought in to how we are trying to progress as a club.

It is every managers dream to have competition in every area and we now have that in abundance in our GK division. We are very happy to welcome him to the club.”

Murphy commented “I’m delighted to sign for the club. From the first minute speaking to Gary, it was something that excited me and when he explained what he wanted to do this season it was something I wanted to be a part of.

We have a brilliant group of players and the lads have been very welcoming since I came in. We’ve been laying down the foundations in pre-season to be prepared to hit the ground running come the first game of the season.

I’m looking forward to seeing what this season holds, and getting out playing in front of all the fans at The Showgrounds.”
