Tá lúcháir ar Gaillimh Aontaithe a fhógairt go bhfuil Ed McCarthy tar éis síniú arís d’fhoireann sinsireach na bhfear roimh an séasúr nua i 2025

Galway United are delighted to announce that Ed McCarthy has re-signed for our Senior Men’s team ahead of the 2025 season.

The 23-year-old midfielder has committed to The Tribesmen for 2025 and heads into his third season with the club since signing in 2022.

The Limerick native played 36 games for United in 2024, and contributed via four goals and an assist. McCarthy also also created a lot of opportunities as he ranked in the top 2% in the league for possession won in the final third. His technical ability has shone through this season particularly, ranking in the top 8% across the Premier Division for successful dribbles (27) and touches in the opposition box (81) McCarthy made a big contribution last season, including a world class goal vs St. Patrick’s Athletic, watch it below:

McCarthy started his Irish footballing career at Cork City before moving to Treaty United in 2021, making 21 appearances in his seven month spell at the club. He then signed for Galway United in February of 2022. In 2023 he had a breakthrough year, playing 38 times and scoring on nine occasions. His fantastic efforts were rewarded by him earning a place in the 2023 PFAI First Division Team Of The Year. In 2024 he has gone to another level and made the jump to Premier Division football, becoming a key asset at United.

We are delighted to have McCarthy back for 2025 season, more announcements are expected in the coming weeks so make sure to check social media for updates!

Galway United can also confirm the departures of Junior Ogedi-Uzokwe, Francely Lomboto and Karl O’Sullivan. We would like to thank the players for their commitments and wish them the best of luck going forward.
