Newry land second signing as Doyle arrives from Crusaders

Newry City have this evening announced a second addition in the January transfer window, with Brandon Doyle arriving on loan from Crusaders.

Doyle has experience of working under new City boss Barry Gray, as he played 53 times and scored nine goals across two spells between 2019 and 2021.

The club announced the arrival via an online statement which read:

‘First Team Manager Barry Gray is delighted to welcome 25-year-old attacker Brandon Doyle on loan from Crusaders until the end of the season.

‘Gray commented “It’s great to get Brandon onboard, again another player I have experience working with previously. Brandon is a young player, but has been involved with some great team set ups and is raring to get stuck in and get going. Brandon knows exactly what’s expected from him and I’ve no doubt he’ll make an immediate impact and give us increased depth at the top end of the pitch.”

‘Speaking to the club’s media team, Brandon Doyle said: “I’m happy to have signed for Newry and I’m excited for the challenge ahead. I’ve worked with Barry before so I know the standards Barry expects from his players. I’m looking forward to getting in and putting the work in with the staff and the players here until the end of the season. Hopefully, I can help do my part to keep Newry in the Premiership where they belong.”
