Conor McCormack signs new deal with Galway United

Galway United have unveiled the re-signing of club captain Conor McCormack ahead of the 2024 season.

The 33-year-old defensive midfielder heads into his fourth season with the Tribesmen after guiding them out of the First Division last term.

McCormack after signing with United has now won every trophy in Irish football.

The Carlingford native has won the FAI Cup, Premier Division, First Division, League Cup, President’s Cup, Leinster Senior Cup, Munster Senior Cup and the now defunct Setanta Sports Cup.

McCormack made 33 appearances in all competitions last season for United, chipping in with his first goal too, directly from a corner away to Wexford.

He spent his youth career with Manchester United and 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 John Caulfield at Cork City. McCormack had many successful seasons here 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 led the club to become First Division champions last year.
