St Vincent's Deaf Football Club have announced the appointment of Dillon Smith as the manager.
Dillon has a wealth of experience having played for various clubs throughout his playing days; Fettercairn FC, Newtown Rangers, Dragons Rangers, St. Maeulrans and last but not least St. Vincent's Deaf Football Club.
During his time as a defender for the blues, Dillon tasted success with the club winning the League and the Walkin Cup in the 90's as well as earning himself 9 caps for the national deaf team. He could have had more accolades to his name if St Vincent's had not finished runner-up twice in LFL Major Sunday.
After Dillon hung up his boots, he took on the role of Football Director in the Irish Deaf Sports Association and did an enormously impressive job before stepping down due to his wife, Sinead, giving birth to their second child, Oisin much to the delight of the first-born Callum who had a brother to play with!
St. Vincent's Deaf Football club are very much delighted to get Dillon on board and hope that he can bring success to the club once again. His term comes into effect immediately after the match against Belfast Deaf United this Saturday in which the club secretary, John Smyth and club chairman, Geoff Foy will be in charge of on a temporary basis.
Everybody at the club wishes Dillon the best of luck. We are all behind you.
