Garry Buckley is the latest Sligo Rovers player to sign a contract extension for the 2021 season.
The 27-year-old joined the Bit O’ Red this year and ended up as a first-choice centre-half, forming a pairing with John Mahon.
Buckley impressed throughout the year and commits to Rovers today, saying he is staying at The Showgrounds with a target to win trophies and make qualifying for Europe a regular occurrence.
“I saw the potential in the club when I joined and I think that potential is growing stronger. Getting to Europe this season was a bonus when you consider the start we had and our target was getting out of a tough position after the lockdown.
“There are top players at the club and the manager has targeted improving it even further. There is a core of a group that can go on to be among the best in the country. I know how good this group is, it’s the best I’ve been involved in for a while.”
Under contract at Sligo Rovers for 2021 so far are: Ed McGinty, Luke McNicholas, Lewis Banks, Garry Buckley, John Mahon, David Cawley, Niall Morahan, Ryan De Vries and Mark Byrne.
