John Convery was released by Portadown last month

Former Portadown captain John Convery has become Newry City's latest close-season signing.

Convery, who was released by the Ports last month, has agreed a two-year deal with the Showgrounds outfit.

Francis Murphy, Conor Downey and Conor Hagan have already been snapped up by Newry manager Gerry Flynn over the past two weeks.

Convery was a Ports stalwart for several years but was affected by injury last season.

Downey moved to the Showgrounds from Cliftonville while Hagan joined the club after being released by league champions Linfield last month.

City defender Cullen Feeney has signed a one-year contract extension at the club.

Former Cliftonville winger Francis Murphy has also joined Newry while striker Stephen Garrett left City for the Reds.
