TWO products of the Treaty United Academy have signed part-time professional contracts with the senior club.

In a landmark move for the club, Darren Nwankwo (18) and Robbie Lynch (17), respectively formerly of Aisling Annacotty and Broaford United, have joined Tommy Barrettโ€™s squad.

CEO Ciara McCormack told TreatyUnitedFC.com: โ€œWeโ€™re really excited to have Darren and Robbie become the first academy players that weโ€™ve ever signed to part-time pro contracts. We said coming in that we will be focusing on and building the youth players in the club, and this is an important first step to follow through with that commitment.”

“Both players have shown immense potential and ability, and we are looking forward to seeing where the next few years take them,” she said.
