Former MUFC youth team goalkeeper Ollie Byrne joins FC United

We're delighted to announce former Manchester United youth team goalkeeper Ollie Byrne has signed a contract with FC United for the 2024/25 season.

The highly-rated 26-year-old has most recently been at Macclesfield, and has previously plied his trade at Blackburn Rovers, Cardiff City and Altrincham.

Ollie also won the Welsh Premier League title twice at Connah’s Quay Nomads, where he gained European experience in Champions League and Conference League qualifiers.

Men's first team manager Neil Reynolds said: "We've been in discussions with Ollie for a number of weeks now and it's great to get the deal signed. Ollie is a big character and he'll bring extra quality and experience to the team. We're delighted to have him onboard for the season."

We're hoping that Ollie will be able to make his debut tonight when we take on Farsley Celtic at Broadhurst Park. Welcome to FC, Ollie!
