Kris Lindsay signs two-year contract extension with Dungannon Swifts

Dungannon Swifts have announced that Kris Lindsay has signed a two-year contract extension.

The former Irish League defender was appointed Swifts boss in September 2018.

Lindsay has impressed in the Stangmore Park hot-seat, in what is his first managerial role following a successful coaching spell at Glenavon.

“I’m absolutely delighted to sign an extension to my contract with the club," Lindsay told the club's website.

"We have a very talented group of players at the club with a lot of youth and the futures looking bright.

"I am really looking forward to continue to work with them and progress both on and off the pitch.

"Furthermore, I am delighted to confirm Dixie Robinson, Jay Willis and Choka (Terry Fitzpatrick) are continuing on in their roles within the first team set up.

"They are Dungannon Swifts through and through and since they have stepped up to the first team, they have fitted in seamlessly and contributed massively to results and performances since the turn of the year.”

Dungannon stalwart Robinson said he was "more than delighted" to continue his role alongside Lindsay.

“As Head of Development at DSFC I am more than delighted to continue to help Kris (Lindsay), as part of his backroom staff," Dixie said.

"We were going well, playing some great football when the season took an unfortunate stop. Hopefully once all is resumed again we continue to pick up where we left off and move forward together.  

"I thank Kris and Keith for the opportunity to continue to be involved in my Club, Dungannon Swifts. May I also take the opportunity to wish Jay and Choka, all the best in their roles.”
