Who the feck's Karl Birmingham.....? :confused: Cousin of Danni California....?

An unsuccessful trial at Dunfermline ? Released by a string of make-weight English sides, and now at Newry. ?

Quality signing there alright.....

OK, Newry City's recent exploits are not going to set the world on fire; but in fairness to Karl Bermingham he set Newry City on fire in the few games he played for them. He may have been the proverbial 'big fish' but he certainly stood out and I would be keen to see him play for an eL side.

It is massive in fairness.

How ???

The guy's been rejected by the likes of Dunfermline and Lincoln City !! Only Newry would give him a side - and I reckon any random 11 of us would do well against Newry...!

Well I played against him when he was younger and he was quality. As well as Shels, I'm also a City fan and unfortunately he was never going to make the cut with us. Had a loan spell and that but was released when his contract expired. Haven't seen him play recently though.

Derry offer Harrison, Bermingham trials


January 25, 2007

Derry City manager Pat Fenlon has taken goalkeeper Ryan Harrison and former Republic of Ireland youth international striker Karl Bermingham on trial at the Brandywell.

Harrison, 20, is currently plying his grade with Forest Green Rovers in the English Conference and has had spells with Swansea City and Wrexham.

Bermingham, meanwhile, played for Newry City in the Carnegie Premier League last season after a four-year stay at Manchester City came to an end.

The striker, who turned 21 in October, has made six English League appearances from loan spells at Lincoln City and Burnley in the 2004/05 season.

He has a history of playing for massive City clubs so it should suit him.
