Sligo step up Hamilton interest

[Rovers1]

From eleven-aside.com:

Premier Division newcomers Sligo Rovers have stepped up their interest in Portadown striker Gary Hamilton – but with little funds to spend, will not be able to bring the Northern Ireland international to the Showgrounds before his contract expires in the summer.

Hamilton faces an uncertain future at Shamrock Park, with Ports manager Ronnie McFall withdrawing his latest contract offer earlier this week.

The former Blackburn Rovers man had been offered the new deal in November, but had yet to sign it two months on.

Although Linfield and Drogheda United are keen on making a quick swoop for the 25-year-old front man, McFall insists he will stay at Portadown for the remainder of the Carnegie Irish Premier League season – when Sligo manager Sean Connor will hope to make him a Rovers player.

Connor told the Irish Sun: “I know that Ronnie McFall is looking for a fee now but I’ve got a budget at Sligo so we’ll wait for him. I’d be looking more at getting a pre-contract agreement tied up with him.

“I spoke to Gary and we are interested in signing him. He’s a top player. He’s an international and has a good touch and a real eye for goal and, at 25, is the right kind of age.”
