Finn Harps Secure Multi-Year Deals for McDaid and Coyle NOW

UPDATE: Finn Harps have just announced new multi-year contracts for promising players Adam McDaid and Darragh Coyle, ensuring their commitment to the club as they gear up for the 2026 season. The announcement comes from Finn Harps’ head coach Kevin McHugh during a press event at Finn Park in Ballybofey.

These two talented athletes, both born in 2006, have risen through the ranks of the League of Ireland Academy, representing the club at every level. Their journey now continues with the senior team, marking a significant milestone in their careers.

Adam McDaid made a notable impact during his senior debut last season, scoring his first goal against UCD and making 12 appearances across all competitions. Meanwhile, Darragh Coyle, who faced a challenging recovery from a serious knee injury sustained in 2024, returned to form with four appearances in 2025, highlighted by his Arena 7 Man of the Match award in his final game of the season.

Coach McHugh expressed his excitement about retaining both players, stating, “They have trained exceptionally well and earned their contracts. Their potential is vast, but it requires hard work as they transition from academy football to the senior team.” He highlighted the importance of the upcoming preseason for players making this critical step, emphasizing that it is crucial for their confidence and integration into the senior squad.

As Finn Harps prepares for the offseason, both McDaid and Coyle are eager to kickstart their training and build upon their recent successes. “I’m delighted for both boys and their families,” McHugh added. “They embody the hard work and dedication we promote at Finn Harps FC. Players must be willing to give their all every time they step on the pitch.”

This announcement is poised to energize fans and stakeholders as the club looks to strengthen its roster ahead of the new season. Keep an eye on further developments as Finn Harps builds a promising future with their academy graduates.
