Who's in, who's out? Loughgall's January window
Benji Magee is back at Loughgall on loan from Larne
- Published
Loughgall's second season back in the Irish Premiership has been difficult and Dean Smith's side are bottom of the table.
In a blow to their survival hopes, key striker Nathaniel Ferris departed the club for Glentoran late in the window.
However, Smith's side have been boosted by the return of Benji Magee on loan from Larne, and if the Villagers are to stay up then the 22-year-old will need to rediscover the magic that led him to Inver Park in the summer.
Fra McCaffrey is an experienced addition and young striker Kirk McLaughlin was highly-rated at Coleraine.
Loughgall have also brought in Robbie Mahon from Dundalk, Matthew O'Brien from Drodgheda United and Glenavon defender James Carroll.
They may be nine points adrift at the bottom of the league, but progress from the quarter-finals of the Irish Cup could still give the club something to celebrate.
In: Benji Magee (Larne - loan), James Carroll (Glenavon), Robbie Mahon (Dundalk), Fra McCaffrey (Newry City), Kirk McLaughlin (Coleraine), Matthew O'Brien (Drogheda United).
Out: Nathaniel Ferris (Glentoran), Conor McDermott (St James Swifts), Ben Harvey (Newry City - loan), Andrew Hoey (Annagh United - loan), Jay Boyd (Crusaders - end of loan).
