SHROOVE teenage soccer sensation, James Henry, has
ended weeks of speculation by signing for Derry City
Football Club.
The talented midfielder, who has spent the last few
seasons lighting up Carrowmena in the Inishowen
League, joins the Candy Stripes ahead of their First
Division campaign.
Henry, who had attracted much interest of late,
plumped for Stephen Kenny’s men, who are set to
begin life in the eircom League Division One next
month.
Speaking to the Inishowen Independent yesterday
Carrowmena boss Raymond Dougal said he was sorry to
lose his young star but delighted to see him
progress.
“James is a tremendous player. He was won every
accolade available to him in the Inishowen League.
He is a great example to all young players here,” he
said. |
“His absence will leave
a void at Carrowmena but we would never want to
stand in his way. He gives 150% every week and I
hope he goes on to an even higher standard. It would
be great to see someone from the Inishowen League on
the biggest stage. We have the players here to make
it,”
Dougal also paid tribute to Henry’s technical
ability and determination to succeed.
“James has all the attributes to |
 |
make it. He has great
ball control skills and gives his all. He has no
weak points at all,” he said.
“With Derry City going through a transition period,
James has every chance of making it into the first
team.” |
