Mclaughlin Signs Contract Extension

Posted on July 14, 2014 in Millwall

Fleetwood Town’s Conor Mclaughlin signed a new deal with the League One that will be seeing the 22 year old right back remaining with them for 3 more years. Mclaughlin helped his team on earning a top spot during the previous season of the League Two league and now Fleetwood Town will be facing off against the teams in League One.

After signing his contract extension with Fleetwood Town, Mclaughlin expressed his satisfaction about remaining with the club for a few more years and said: ‘’ I’m delighted to sign on again here. It was a hard one to get done because I was obviously away with Northern Ireland, and I’ve been on holiday the past couple of weeks. I’m really happy to get it done now though. We’ve got an unbelievable set of lads here and a great manager, so it was a no brainer for me to sign on again’’

At his 22 years of age, Mclaughlin has already represented his country, Northern Ireland at the international stage. Having made 35 league appearances for Fleetwood Town in the previous just shows the impact he has made with the club since arriving.

During his debut season at Fleetwood Town, Mclaughlin only managed on making 19 league appearances but he has cemented his first place spot in the team as a consistent defender for his club.

When the contract was entering its final stages, the head coach of Fleetwood Town, Graham Alexander was eager and excited about being able to extend the stay of Conor Mclaughlin in the club.

‘’We’re almost there with Conor’s contract. I’d say we’re in the final yard. We’re very hopeful of getting things sorted with Conor because he did a fantastic job for us last season but I know it’s not certain until he’s signed on the dotted line’’ That was the statement released by the coach Graham Alexander as he revealed to the public that Mclaughlin was on the verge of extending his contract with Fleetwood Town.
