COLERAINE FC is pleased to announce the signing of Charles Dunne, pending international clearance…
The 31-year-old defender joins the club after his short-term spell at St Mirren came to an end.
Born in London, Dunne started his career at Wycombe Wanderers and after a loan spell at Staines Town, he joined Blackpool on a permanent basis in 2013.
Dunne had further loan spells at Wycombe Wanderers and Crawley Town before joining Oldham Athletic in 2016-17, where he made 19 appearances for the Latics in all competitions.
The ex-Republic of Ireland U21 international then moved north of the border at Motherwell, playing in the 2017 Scottish League Cup and 2018 Scottish Cup finals.
After a four-year stint at Fir Park, Dunne moved to Paisley as he joined St Mirren, where he made almost 100 appearances for the Buddies.
Speaking about the fifth January signing at The Showgrounds, head coach Dean Shiels said: “Centre-back is a position we have been looking to add experience to help the younger players.
“Charles is a commanding centre-back who has played at a really high level this season in the Scottish Premiership. He also possesses the experience to organise and communicate.
“He is good in possession and is very quick which are great qualities to have.
“We are delighted to welcome Charles to the club.”
The club can confirm that Dunne will wear the number 28 shirt.
