Galway United FC are delighted to confirm that Luke
and Brian Comer of the Comer Group have extended their major sponsorship of the
club for a further two years. This is the latest gesture of overwhelming
support Luke and Brian Comer have made in the development of football in Galway
and Galway United FC and provides a platform where the club can further invest
both on and off the field.
Following on from this significant positive development we can confirm the
following players to date have agreed to extend their contracts for the 2020
season:
Kevin Horgan, Colin Kelly, Christopher Horgan, Maurice Nugent, Ivan Gamara and
Dara Costelloe.
It was particularly pleasing for all involved with Galway United that Luke and
Brian were present in Eamonn Deacy Park today to meet with members of the
club’s management and playing staff to share with them this important announcement.
Luke and Brian Comer have also generously made available to the club a 40-acre
site in Mountain South, Athenry for the future development of a training
facility. This will enable us to establish a state-of-the-art Centre of
Excellence for the progression of young players from Galway and the surrounding
areas.
This will ensure a lasting and fitting legacy of the fantastic relationship the
Comers have with our club and provide an environment to ensure a sustainable
source of talent for the further growth and development of the club.
Commenting on the facilities announcement Noel Mooney FAI General Manager:
“It’s encouraging to hear the progress with Galway United and their development
plans for a Centre of excellence in Athenry, Co. Galway. The FAI Facility
Development Department will work alongside Galway United and other stakeholders
such as the local authorities to develop a feasibility study on how this
proposal can come to fruition. The benefits of a footballing Centre of
Excellence in Co. Galway will provide a massive boost to the club and wider
community and we look forward to it developing.”
