Dungannon Swifts announce loan signing of Derry City defender Micheál Glynn

Dungannon Swifts have announced the loan signing of defender Micheál Glynn.

Glynn joins the Stangmore Park club from Derry City.

The 19-year-old has been with the Candystripes since February 2021 and was previously with Ballinamallard United.

“Micheál is an exciting young player, he’s versatile he can play left back, left wing back, left centre back and he’s a player that will suit the style," Dungannon boss Dean Shiels told the club's website.

"He can receive the ball he’s dynamic, he gets forward and I’m delighted to get him.”

Glynn - who has represented Northern Ireland at underage level - is also a talented Gaelic footballer and was part of St Michael’s Enniskillen's MacRory Cup and Hogan Cup wins in 2019.

“I’m delighted to be here, I can’t wait to get going, meet the lads and hit the ground running," Glynn said.

"Darragh (McBrien) and I are very close. He would be one of my closest friends. We’ve grown up together playing football at Ballinamallard, playing Gaelic together at St Michael’s and known how each other play.

"We know how well each other play. It was a great move for me to go to Derry City to be in and around full-time football everyday has helped me massively improve as a player.

"I think that will benefit me in my time at Dungannon and I can’t wait to get games under my belt.

"Personally I want to play as best as I can for this club and give it my all. For the club I hope to get as many wins under our belts as possible and progress from last season.

"The only way is up!”
