Garry Buckley joins Galway United from Sligo Rovers



Garry Buckley has completed his move from Sligo Rovers to newly promoted Galway United for the 2024 SSE Airtricity Premier Division season.

The Cork native joins Johnny Caulfield and Ollie Horgan at Eamonn Deacy Park after three seasons at the Showgrounds.

Buckley began his career at Cork City U19s before stepping up to the senior team in 2013.

It was his time at City that he began working under current Galway United manager John Caulfield, over the course of eight years, Buckley made 186 appearances for City and scored 33 goals in that period.

Buckley is a very successful footballer domestically, winning the Premier Division and and FAI Cup twice. In 2016, he won the FAI Cup after a 1-0 win after extra time against Dundalk.

City did the double the next year by winning the Premier Division and the FAI Cup.

Both Garry Buckley and John Caulfield have had many successful years together and it’s a big part of the reason why Buckley decided to join the Tribesmen.
