United pair visit England to look for new players
Thursday, April 11th, 2002
Drogheda United manager Harry McCue is wasting no time as the club prepares for its return to the top flight.
The Dubliner is travelling to England at the weekend along with assistant Larry Gaffney. Their aim is to discover some players that would prove an addition to the club's squad next season.
"There is money available for me to buy a couple of players," McHugh confirmed. "I'm going to England on Saturday to have a look at a few players that have been recommended to me. There will be some signings over the next few weeks."
Damien Whitehead joined the Louthmen from Macclesfield in England late this season and he proved a vital cog in the United side that finished top of the table. Drogheda are hoping that the UK option will help them again.
Indeed, McHugh is confident that the players already signed up until the end of next season will extend their deals even further. The club's board has promised the necessary finances to aid the club's return to the Premier Division.
Drogheda were boosted yesterday by the news that both top scorer Declan O'Brien and defender Pádraig Gollogley signed new two-year contracts.
