Murphy completes Galway return

Striker Alan Murphy has completed a return move to First Division
Galway United from eircom League Premier Division runners-up Derry
City.

Mayo native Murphy joined Derry from Galway in a �22,000 move at
the start of the 2004 season

However, he was unable to hold down a regular starting place in the
Candystripes� breakthrough season this year, when his substitute
appearances were more often in midfield as in attack.

The 24-year-old was the First Division�s top scorer with Galway in
2003, firing 21 league goals in a side which struggled to make any
real impact on the promotion race.

And the Tribesmen will hope he can regain that level of form back
at Terryland Park next season.

Galway United is pleased to announce that Alan Murphy has agreed terms and will be signing for the club, the former Galway United crowd favorite has spent the past two seasons with Derry City.

Ballinrobe-native Murphy (24) is a former Player of the Year with Galway United and was the club's top goalscorer in the last three seasons he was with us before he transferred to Derry City.

According to Galway United Chairman, John Fallon, Murphy is one of a number of players that they hope to sign for next season.

"Next season will be the most important in the club's history. We finished the last campaign unbeaten in our last eight games, but we need to strengthen the squad to achieve our aims for next season.

"Alan is a big addition to our side and we are delighted that he has decided to come on board for what promises to be a great season next year," he said.

Galway United manager, Stephen Lally, said a lot of work has already been done for next season.

"We knew that Derry City did not want to lose him and that several other clubs were keen to sign him.

"We sat down with him and outlined the ambitions this club has, the work we have done and what we think we can achieve next year. I am delighted he will be back in a Galway United shirt next season.

"He is an accomplished midfielder or striker and will bring a lot to our side next season. I am delighted for the fans as well as Alan was always a big favorite with them," said Lally.

Would this be our Ciaran Foley by any chance?

**Galwayexile** · 02/12/2005, 5:45 PM

nope sligoman, the other kieran foley played for shamrock rovers. He may have been onloan from st pats, not sure. Hes a defender but can play as a striker if needs be.

Yer ciaran foley i think played for limerick if my memory serves me correct.

**Aaron GUFC** · 02/12/2005, 6:24 PM

I hear rumours of lads from Leiceter City and Shelbourne and Bulgaria. And wait till you hear this........A GUFC youth Acadamy ....lol

We are Massive!
Really big club really big

Every club in the eircom League should have one - it's the only way to stop the drain of players to England. And potentially both a source of players for the future and income from future transfers when a top class player comes through the ranks.

We are never going to be at the races without one.

**Aaron GUFC** · 02/12/2005, 6:52 PM

wise words

**Patrick Dunne** · 05/12/2005, 8:23 AM

The signing of Ciaran Foley is certainly not confirmed as we speak.

**Terry** · 06/12/2005, 7:43 AM

According to sligo supprters both Ciaran FOley and Ryan O'Donnell have signed for us? They say they got this info from the players themselves??

If so I will be delighted to have ryan on board, excellent player

, But Foley? the lad just roughs everybody up (a tony mannion player) but has very little football skills.

**Galwayexile** · 06/12/2005, 8:24 AM

hey terry what position does ryan o donnell play, its looking for good for Utd now. Still have alot of work to do if we are to get promoted next season though.
