Dungannon's 2024-25 season in review

Dungannon Swifts celebrate Irish Cup successInpho

2024-25 League position: 4th

Player of the season: Gael Bigirimana

2024-25 Review: The campaign will surely go down as the best ever witnessed at Stangmore Park.

The club had finished fourth in the top-flight twice previously in the 1990s, both under the stewardship of current manager Rodney McAree's father Joe, but their Irish Cup triumph over Cliftonville was a first for the club.

The memorable scenes at Windsor Park on the first Saturday of May have brought deserved praise upon the club who have delivered major silverware, broken into the top six, and will play in European football all on a budget that ensures they need to promote youth and rely on astute gs.

Gael Bigirimana and Leo Alves are just two examples of the latter, while 22-year-old full-back Adam Glenny was voted onto the team of the season this year having come through the youth ranks.

They will miss the firepower of John McGovern next season, who is expected to move on after a strong campaign in front of goal, but the Swifts will back themselves to find another bargain as a replacement.

2025-26 gs so far: Mal Smith (Crusaders), Peter Maguire (Ballinamallard)

2025-26 departures so far: Dean Curry (retired)
