Aidan McCauley signs first professional deal with Institute

Sean Connor’s Institute have confirmed that midfielder Aidan McCauley has signed his first professional deal with the Derry outfit.

McCauley has impressed for Institute this term, making ten appearances for the club, and scoring once for the Stute.

Formerly of Limavady United, McCauley has stepped up to the top-flight this term with Institute, playing 739 minutes of action so far.  

Speaking with his club’s media team, assistant manager Sean Friars said; “It's great to get Aidan on a pro deal at the club and one in which he fully deserved.

“Aidan made the step up from championship football this season and has excelled, playing a number of positions, but recently holding down his spot in centre midfield.

“The new deal, I feel, is only the starting point for Aidan as I know having worked with him before he has more in him.

“His challenge now is to kick on and go to the next level which we all feel and believe he will do.”

Institute will play Linfield on Saturday afternoon, with a 1pm kick-off at the Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium.
