Vemmelund & McGrath join Dundalk as McMillan signs new deal

Stephen Kenny has brought in two new faces as well as securing the services of last season's top goalscorer

Dundalk have added two more players to their squad ahead of the 2017 season, with Niclas Vemmelund and Jamie McGrath joining the League of Ireland champions.

Danish defender Vemmelund arrives at Oriel Park having spent the 2016 season at Derry City, while Republic of Ireland youth international McGrath ends his association with St Patrick's Athletic in order to sign for Stephen Kenny's side.

The pair follow Sean Hoare in committing to the Lilywhites for the upcoming season and Kenny believes that all three signings will improve the squad as they look to build upon their exploits in 2016, which saw them compete in the Europa League and win their third league title in a row.
