Football News Update: Newport County Sign Former Sheffield Wednesday Centre-Back Ciaran Brennan
In a move that is sure to excite football fans, Newport County have announced the signing of former Sheffield Wednesday centre-back Ciaran Brennan. The 24-year-old Irishman, who became a free agent this summer, has put pen to paper on a two-year contract with the League Two club.
Brennan, a former Republic of Ireland under-18 and under-19 international, joined the Wednesday academy in 2013 and made 18 appearances for the Sheffield club. He has also had loan spells at Notts County and Swindon Town, and last season played four matches on loan at National League side Hartlepool United.
“I’m buzzing to get the deal over the line. It’s been going on for a while now, so I am delighted to get it done. I have got a relatively good idea of what the league brings. I know I am more than comfortable at this level and I want to show the fans that I can be one of the best players here. I am ready to kick on now.”
The deal is subject to international clearance and Football League approval, but Brennan is eager to get started with his new team.
This signing comes just a day after Newport County announced the arrival of Anthony Glennon, making Brennan the second recruit for the club this week. The Exiles will be hoping that these new additions can help them mount a strong challenge in the upcoming EFL League Two season.
