Shane Doherty

The 22-year-old attacker, who holds both American and Irish citizenship, moves to Eamonn Deacy Park from Rowan University, where he captained the side.

While at Rowan, Doherty’s form earned him various accolades in college football, including being selected on the All South Atlantic Region First Team, the NJAC First Team All Conference and the NSCAA All America Second Team.

Doherty is comfortable playing anywhere in the final third of the pitch and Galway United manager Alan Murphy was pleased to add a winger with an eye for goal to his squad for the coming season.
