Darren Mullen Steps Down as Chairman

Darren Mullen, the legendary former manager and newly departed chairman of Newry City, has stepped down after 13 months in charge — a tenure that saw the club rocket from the Premier Intermediate League to the Championship and attract fresh investment. A true Newry icon, Mullen’s coaching legacy includes leading the team back to the Premiership in 2018 and orchestrating four promotions in five years. As chairman, he fiercely backed current manager Stuart King and stayed connected to coaching by fundraising for Evora Hospice through donation-based clinics. Though he admitted he missed coaching more than he expected, Mullen remains deeply committed to the club, praising its people and wishing them continued success — and hinting he may return to the sidelines someday.
