Coleraine FC announce signing of goalkeeper Martin Gallagher on two-year deal

Coleraine have announced the signing of goalkeeper Martin Gallagher on a two-year deal.

The 28-year-old spent eight years at North West rivals Institute where he was part of the club’s Championship wins in 2014 and '18.

Gallagher will offer back-up to Bannsiders number one Chris Johns.

“For a long time we have gambled with Chris staying fit and it was always our plan to bring in another goalkeeper this summer,” Oran Kearney told Coleraine's official website.

“Michael Doherty has been a great servant and is keen to concentrate fully on coaching aspect.

“Martin has previous experience from playing in the top flight and he ticks all the boxes as far as I’m concerned.

“I said to him that it is probably the right time for him in his career to move and freshen things up by joining another club and working with different players and management staff.”
