McGivern who made six appearances for Sky Bet League Two club Swindon Town last season under boss Phil Brown on a short term deal has returned home.

McGivern who began his career at Manchester City can play as a left or centre back boosting the blues options defensively.

Newry-born McGivern made his international debut as an 18-year-old in 2008, and has gone on to make 25 appearances for Northern Ireland, the most recent of which was as a half-time substitute in a 3-0 friendly defeat to Croatia in November 2016.
