St James' Swifts have been active in the transfer market
A West Belfast junior football club has continued its impressive recruitment campaign with another signing who is well-known to one of the club's stars.
St James' Swifts recently announced the capture of former Irish League defender Conor McDermott who was previously with Cliftonville, Coleraine and most recently Loughgall.
They also have ex-Irish League aces Garry Breen and Jude Winchester in their ranks, and now they have another Winchester signed up.
