Newry City's busy summer has continued as Adam Carroll becomes new manager Gary Boyle's fourth signing of the close season.
The young forward signs on at The Showgrounds following his release from neighbours Warrenpoint Town and Boyle is delighted to get his man.
“Adam is a player we have been keeping a keen eye on from afar over the last couple of seasons," he said.

"He is exactly the type of player we are looking to attract to the club; being young, local, with quality and the ability to improve even further.
"Adam can play in a number of attacking positions and compliments the players we already have at the club.
"Our supporters can expect to see an exciting attacking player with a keen eye for goal.
"I would like to place on record our thanks to Barry and Warrenpoint Town FC for assisting with the deal.”
Carroll is looking forward to the new challenge and believes Boyle is putting together a good squad.
“I am delighted to sign for my hometown club," he said.
"I can’t wait to get going in front of the fans, I know it will be a long and tough season but I am confident with the group that the manager has put together that anything is possible.
"I’m looking forward to helping Newry in their next step.”
Another player leaving Warrenpoint is goalkeeper Conor Mitchell, who has joined Dungannon Swifts.
“Conor has got good experience, he’s got great presence, he’s a good organiser and he talks very well," said Swifts boss Rodney McAree.
"His professionalism around training and how he conducts himself is second to none, so he’ll certainly bring good competition along with Decky (Dunne).
"There’s already a very good goalkeeper at the Club in Decky. Someone who I thought done every well in the play-off games but ultimately we can’t rely on one good goalkeeper to get us through the course of a season.
"We have to look and try and bring in more quality and we have done that along with Conor. We are looking forward to working with him."
Elsewhere, Portadown have confirmed the signing of Gary Thompson from Crusaders and Institute have appointed Kevin Deery as their new manager for a second time.
