Dungannon Swifts snap up former Finn Harps midfielder Shane McGinty

Northern Irish Premiership basement battlers Dungannon Swifts have confirmed the signing of former Finn Harps midfielder Shane McGinty.

McGinty joins the Swifts having departed Ballymena United earlier this month along with Ryan Mayse.

The 25-year-old will be a welcome boost to manager Kris Lindsay’s side – who host Institute this afternoon.  

“I’m absolutely delighted to get Shane over the line, he’s a quality player and he will give us options in midfield and going forward,” Lindsay said.  

“He is still relatively young, at 25 years old, but he’s a lot of experience. He’ll boost our squad greatly, add to our options and he’ll give us a freshen up, which is much needed leading up to the run in.

“I’m really looking forward to seeing the quality he will bring with him to Stangmore and getting to work with him on the training pitch.”

The midfielder is expected to feature for Dungannon this afternoon, with a 3pm kick-off at Stangmore Park.
