Martyn staying at Derry City

Derry City midfielder Ciaran Martyn is remaining at the Brandywell following an announcement by manager Gavin Dykes at a club meeting last night.

Martyn, who weighed in with six goals in a difficult last campaign, had signed a pre-contract agreement with 2003 champions Shelbourne two weeks ago, and boss Pat Fenlon was reiterating that fact only last Monday when asked to confirm Martyn’s transfer to Tolka Park.
