Shiels: ‘I always wanted to play for Coleraine’

DEAN Shiels spoke to colerainefc.com for the first time after joining the Bannsiders this afternoon…

The midfielder put pen-to-paper on an 18-month contract to become Rodney McAree’s sixth arrival at The Showgrounds.

The 33-year-old remembers warming up Davy O’Hare in his younger days and believes he has plenty to offer to the club.

Shiels, a former Northern Ireland international, admits he spoke to his father Kenny and Oran Kearney before sealing the switch.
