Oran Brogan signs two-year deal at Loughgall FC

Letterkenny man Oran Brogan has penned a two-year contract with NIFL Premiership new boys Loughgall FC.

The 20-year-old defender has been recruited by Dean Smith as he prepares for the return of top flight football to Lakeview for the first time since 2007.

Brogan joins Loughgal from Dergview, where he made 37 appearances in the 2022/23 season.

Loughgall, the Championship winners last season, has the curious distinction of being the smallest settlement in Europe – with 282 residents - to have a top-flight football club.
