Dundalk manager Martin Murray has made his first signing of the Summer, ahead of the return to the Premier Division, when Stephen McGuinness signed for the Lilywhites. The St Pats captain is a fantastic capture, which boosts morale and increases the chances of the likes of Finn Harps duo Fergal Harkin, and Tom Mohan being attracted to the club. McGuinness won two League titles at Pats, and also the League Cup this season as Pats went on a good run after a bad start to the season, and ended up losing out in the shakeup for European places
In the prime of his career, McGuinness comes to Dundalk after going out of contract at Pats, and not being satisfied with the deal on offer from the Inchicore club, whose manager Pat Dolan confirmed only a few nights ago that a new offer had been made to McGuinness. That was not enough however, and McGuinness still decided to take on the new challenge at Dundalk, where he will immediately become an integral figure in the side, ahead of the season ahead. If this is a sign of what is to come over the Summer, then this is a very encouraging start as the preparations for Premier Division football begin.
The players resigned have all been given dietary programmes and a training regime for the Summer months, and weekends away are planned, with Arron Callaghan, and recently appointed Frank O'Neill acting as coaches. This is a professional step in the right direction, as the future looks bright for Dundalk Football Club
