​Warrenpoint Town announce extensions for core of their title-winning squad

Manager Gary Boyle has already been busy in the summer transfer market, bringing in Adam Carroll and Lorcan Forde from Newry City last week, but his first concern will have been to secure the services of the players who won the third tier crown last season.

The following players have signed on for 2025-26 season, in which Warrenpoint will compete in the Playr-Fit Championship.
