Newry City AFC manager Barry Gray has announced the signing of Francis McCaffrey on a long-term deal. It's the fifth signing by the new manager with Jamie McDonagh, Conor Mitchell, Brandon Doyle and Steven Ball also signed up since the start of the year. McDonagh and Doyle are on a short term loan deal till the end of the season.
McCaffrey is looking forward to the challenge “The opportunity to play football in the Premiership again was too good to turn down. I’m happy to be here at Newry, it is a challenge that I am well up for and I can’t wait to get started. I know a lot of the lads and played against them all so I will fit right into squad.”
Commenting on his latest signing Gray said “I am delighted to have Fra onboard, Fra is a highly respected Premiership player with a lot of experience. I believe this will be vital to us moving forward into the big head-to-head games.
“Fra will add depth and experience and having worked with him previously I know exactly what to expect from him. I’m looking forward to seeing him on the pitch soon and have no doubt he’ll be a fans favourite.”
