Portadown Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Eamon Fyfe from Coleraine for an undisclosed fee.
The 26 year old striker is no stranger to Ports fans after spending last season on loan at the club from Coleraine and contributing 24 goals in 45 games as the Glenravel native more than played his part in Niall Currie’s men sealing the Playr-Fit Championship and Mid Ulster Cup as well as reaching the BetMcLean Cup Final.
It was a tremendous season personally for the striker who was named in the 2023/24 Championship Team of the Year as well as picking up the Northern Ireland Football Writers’ Association’s Championship Player of the Month for March 2024 and being nominated for the 2023/24 Ulster Footballer of the Year Championship Player of the Year.
Eamon had joined Coleraine in January 2023 from Dundela after previously being on on the books of Queen’s University and All Saints Old Boys Ballymena as well as being with Cliftonville, Larne and Ballymena United as a youngster.
On the move, Portadown manager Niall Currie commented
It’s been a drawn out process but we’re delighted to finally get Eamon over the line and here on a permanent basis.
I can’t praise him highly enough as he turned down numerous offers whilst our board were in negotiations with Coleraine, he stayed true to his word and thankfully we got things sorted.
A massive thanks to our board as this was a difficult negotiation which we’re delighted to have concluded, I’m happy to say that Eamon is officially a Portadown player for the next two seasons at least.
Eamon Fyfe added
It was unreal getting this club back to where they belong last year, the the Premiership, and its even better now that I can come back and play for the club again.
