MAURICE NUGENT has signed a new deal with Galway Utd which will see him line out in the League of Ireland Premier Division.

A vital part of the Galway Utd side who won the First Division title in 2023, Maurice played thirty games and scored two goals in a memorable campaign for the Tribesmen. He was joined in the squad by Newmarket-on-Fergus’ Callum McNamara who had his season disrupted by injury.

From Barefield, the defender returned to Galway Utd in December 2022. He originally joined the club in 2014 from Mervue Utd in 2017, playing for the club’s U19s before making the breakthrough to their first team in 2017.

He became a regular starter in the 2018 season and a year later was appointed the club’s vice captain.

After leaving Galway Utd, Maurice spent close to a year with English side Uxbridge F.C, who play their football in the Isthmanian League South-Central Division after moving to London for work purposes.

Galway Utd will begin their Premier Division campaign on February 16th when they welcome St Patrick’s Athletic to Eamonn Deacy Park.
