New Finn Harps signing Joe Gorman with Darren Murphy

Finn Harps have announced the signing of Joe Gorman to the squad for the upcoming season. 

The experienced defender joins with an impressive résumé, having played for multiple clubs across the UK, the League of Ireland, and the Irish League. 

Gorman began his football journey in the academy at Crewe Alexandra before moving to Scotland with Caley Thistle. Upon returning to Ireland, he lined out for Bray Wanderers and Drogheda United. His career then took him back to the UK, where he represented Maidenhead United, Airdrieonians, Biggleswade United, Blyth Spartans, and Clyde. 

In 2020, Gorman joined Longford Town and played a pivotal role in their promotion to the Premier Division. Since then, he has played with clubs such as Galway United, Treaty United, Warrenpoint Town, and most recently, Bluebell United. 

Harps boss Darren Murphy told club media: “I’m really happy to have Joe on board. He brings a wealth of experience having competed in both the Irish League and League of Ireland. He knows the division, and his knowledge and leadership will be a massive boost to what is a young squad.”  

Speaking after signing, Harps’ latest recruit said: “I’m buzzing to get going. Harps are a great club, and once Murph laid out his plans for the season and the role I can play it was a no brainer. I’m just excited to get going now and get to work in January to build for what will hopefully be a big 2025.” 

Gorman is the latest addition to the growing squad for 2025, joining Oisin Cooney, Lucas Daunhauer, Kevin Jordan, Darragh Coyle, Max Hutchison, David Cawley, Tony McNamee, Gavin McAteer, Gavin Gilmore, Aaron McLaughlin, and Max Johnston.
