Posted on August 8, 2017 in Conor Mclaughlin

Fleetwood Town’s Northern Ireland defender, Conor Gerard Mcclaughlin has extended his contract at the High Bury stadium.

The club has offered new contracts to the 25-year-old, with the player among Town players whose contracts expire in the summer.

The defender has penned a three year contract extension at the club after he looks certain to attract more interest from Championship clubs in the January transfer window.

Coach of the league one side, Uwe Rosler said: “We have a structure and I recommend that I would like to continue with the player. I can assure you that Conor has been offered a new contract.”

After featuring only once for his country at Euro 2016 in their first game against Poland, McLaughlin has regained his place in Michael O’neil’s team and scored his first international goal in the World Cup qualifier game against Azerbaijan last month. (more…)

Fleetwood Town were able to secure a point against Southend United

Posted on May 6, 2016 in Conor Mclaughlin

Fleetwood Town were able to secure a point against Southend United thanks to a late goal fromConor McLaughlin.

It appeared that Southend were heading for three points when they managed a spirited comeback through goals from Jack Payne and Adam Barrett. This was after Fleetwood have taken the lead early in the second half through Robert Grant. Considering that Payne scored with eight minutes of normal time remaining, Southend seemed to have secured three points. This would have been a disaster for Fleetwood Town in their fight against relegation. However, McLaughlin came up with this vital point that helps the club stay above the relegation zone.

Only recently, manager Steven Pressley set a target of eight victories in the remainder of the campaign in order to avoid relegation from League One. The team had a sweet boost of confidence following the 2-0 win over Peterborough United in the previous game. This coupled with a point against Southend will only make Fleetwood confident that they can avoid relegation. The upcoming games for the club are against Oldham, Millwall, and Blackpool. A figure of 65 points will be enough to sustain their position in League One. This has been the magical figure to achieve safety in the division and Fleetwood are approaching the 50 point mark.
