RHYS WALSH SIGNS FOR SOUTH SHIELDS FC ON LOAN

We are delighted to announce the signing of Rhys Walsh on a 28 day loan from Sunderland AFC.

The 19 year old winger, born in Belfast, joined Sunderland AFC from NIFL Premiership side, Glentoran, in February 2024 and went on to provide five goal contributions in 10 games for the U18's and has since been a regular feature for the U21's.

Ian Watson had this to say about his newest addition:

"Rhys is someone who brings us real pace from wide areas, he’s a very attack minded player and will unsettle opposition a lot.

We’re really happy to have Rhys join us and we’re excited to work with him"

Rhys will wear the number 15!

Welcome to the Mariners, Rhys!
