First Division promotion hopefuls Galway United have unveiled the signing of Brendan Clarke ahead of the 2023 campaign.

Clarke, 37, joins the Tribesmen following his recent departure from Premier Division outfit Shelbourne.

Former Galway shot-stopper Conor Kearns has gone the other way and joined Damien Duff’s side for next season.

“I’m delighted to get it over the line,” Clarke said after joining United.





“I’ve had a look at the facilities and it’s a really exciting time, I can’t wait to get started.”

Galway boss John Caulfield then added: “I’m absolutely delighted to get a very experienced goalkeeper who’s won the Premier Division, FAI Cup and First Division in his career.

“I think he’ll be an incredible addition to the squad with his presence and experience.”

Elsewhere in the First Division, Wexford FC have unveiled the signing of former Longford Town star Mark Hanratty.

Hanratty links up with his former assistant manager at Longford in James Keddy.

Keddy is now manager of the Slaneysiders after taking over from previous boss Ian Ryan.
