Declan Gallagher signs for Dundee United

Former Kilmarnock and Motherwell defender makes the move to Tannadice

Declan Gallagher has joined Dundee United on a two-year deal after leaving Motherwell at the end of the 2022/23 season. The 32-year-old defender has a wealth of experience in the Scottish Premiership, having also played for Kilmarnock and Livingston. Gallagher is a physical presence at the back and is strong in the air. He is also a good passer of the ball and can play out from the back.

Gallagher's move to Dundee United

Gallagher's move to Dundee United is a significant coup for the club. He is a proven performer at Premiership level and will add experience and quality to the United defence. Gallagher is also a popular figure among fans and is likely to be a hit with the Tannadice faithful. Gallagher said he was "delighted" to have joined Dundee United and is looking forward to the challenge of playing in Europe next season. "I'm really excited to be here," Gallagher said. "Dundee United is a big club with a great history and I'm looking forward to being a part of it. I'm confident that I can make a positive contribution to the team and help us achieve our goals."

Dundee United's summer transfer business

Gallagher is the second signing Dundee United have made this summer, following the arrival of Steven Fletcher from Stoke City. The club is also close to signing Jamie McGrath from Wigan Athletic. Gallagher's signing is a sign of Dundee United's ambition under new manager Jack Ross. The club is looking to build on a successful 2022/23 season, in which they finished fourth in the Premiership and reached the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup. Gallagher is a key part of Ross's plans for the future and he will be hoping to help the club achieve success in the years to come.
