John Caulfield pens new deal to stay at Galway United until the end of the 2023 season

Galway United have confirmed that that they have reached an agreement with first-team boss John Caulfield to extend his deal at the club until the end of the 2023 season.

Caulfield took charge of the Tribesmen midway through the truncated 2020 season to guide Galway into an unlikely playoff berth.

The former Cork City boss has maintained Galway’s position as promotion contenders this season, with the Tribesmen in 3rd position in the First Division.

His new deal will see him remain at the club until at least the end of the 2023 season.

John Caulfield has agreed on a deal with Galway United to continue at the helm until at least the end of the 2023 campaign.

“It's over a year since I came in,” he told Galway’s website after putting pen to paper on his news deal at the club.

“A lot has happened since. We got to the playoffs last year in the short spell I was here before we went full-time this year with new management.

“We'd new players too and it's an exciting time. I'm really thrilled after so much work gone in. We're trying to get out of the First Division.

“The potential of the club; the rapport around the city and county; and the fans coming back all make us want to reawaken the club.

“We want to bring success to the club. I'd like to thank Jonathan Corbett and the board for their backing and hopefully we can drive the club forward over the next two years and bring success to it.”



He added: “A lot has been made about being full-time, but you have to put structures in place and get people to buy in. People see the matches every week but there is a lot of work going in the background.

“There are a lot of young players coming through the academy with Johnny Glynn there and we see great potential. At the same time, we need to deliver results on the pitch.”
