Colm Horgan

Galway United stalwart Colm Horgan returns in maroon for 2025. Horgan has made 180+ appearances for United over two spells since initially breaking into the side over a decade ago in 2014. Horgan earned 15 first team appearances in the 2024 season and registered an assist against St. Patrick’s Athletic late in the season, for a memorable Ed McCarthy goal. Horgan ranked in the top 10% in the Premier Division for interceptions and recoveries per 90, displaying his defensive and hard working playstyle. The Galwegian defender was set back for a period with injury from March until late June and will be looking to come back even stronger in 2025.

Regan Donelon

28-Year-Old full-back Regan Donelon is set for another year representing the Tribesmen. Donelon has made 39 competitive appearances for United since initially signing ahead of the 2023 season in which he was integral part of our record breaking First Division winning side. Donelon then went on to make thirteen more appearances for United in the Premier Division last year. He was impressive both defensively and offensively creating chances with pin point crosses and delivering on his defensive duties, contributing with an assist against against Dundalk in a crucial 2-0 win. Donelon unfortunately suffered an injury during the season which saw him out from May until September, and will be looking to feature more regularly in the 2025 season.
