Galway United are delighted to announce that Club Captain Conor McCormack has re-signed for the senior men’s team ahead of the 2025 season.

The 34-year-old defensive midfielder has committed to The Tribesmen for 2025 and heads into his fifth season in Galway since signing for the club initially in 2021.

The Louth native made 35 appearances in all competitions last season for United, contributing with one goal and three assists along with his impressive defensive work in midfield which included 37 interceptions and 34 tackles won in league matches. His authority, leadership and experience is a huge asset. In 2024 he captained United to their best League of Ireland Premier Division position in thirty years, with a fifth placed finish. His presence and experience in Midfield has been a key part of United’s play, keeping things defensively solid and also helping in transitions, he ranked in the top 2% in the league for the least amount of possession lost. Check out his goal against Shamrock Rovers in the below highlights:

 

 

McCormack, spent his youth career with Manchester United, he played with the English club for two years before spending another three in Italy to play for Serie C side Triestina. In 2011, he came back home to Ireland with Shamrock Rovers, spending two years with Rovers before travelling to the other side of Dublin to spend a season at St Patrick’s Athletic. He then moved onto Derry City in 2015 before joining current United Manager John Caulfield at Cork City. McCormack had many successful seasons there winning the Premier Division and FAI Cup with City and playing in many European games through the years. In 2021 he signed with United, has played almost every game since and captained the side to promotion as they won the First Division title in 2023.
