Portadown sign 'highly-rated striker' after prolific goalscoring season
Portadown have confirmed the signing of “highly-rated striker” Sean O’Mahoney after prolific goalscoring form in the Leinster Senior League.
The 24-year-old netted 27 goals in as many appearances across all competitions for St Francis last season with his performances earning him Intermediate Player of the Year honours.
O’Mahoney becomes David Jeffrey’s latest signing as the Ports boss continues to shape his squad ahead of his dugout return next season.
He joins Matty Carson, Mikey Hewitt and Rhys Breen as a new arrival at Shamrock Park and Jeffrey feels a fresh chapter in the Irish League can help O’Mahoney develop further.
"I’m delighted to welcome Sean to Portadown Football Club,” Jeffrey told the club’s website. “I must begin by giving immense credit to Shane Dolan and David Douglas, who identified Sean as a suitable target for Portadown.
“The recognition Sean has recently received in the Leinster Senior League speaks for itself, but what has especially pleased me is his desire to come and represent Portadown and his investment in what we want to do as a club.
“He’s fearless, tireless and scores goals and sees this as an excellent opportunity for him to progress.”
On making his move to Portadown, O’Mahoney said: “I’m buzzing to become a Portadown player, the club is full of history and I can’t wait to get started and give everything for the badge and fans.”
