Glenavon FC's Paul McGovern has joined Falkirk on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee. The 18-year-old winger made 62 appearances for the Lurgan Blues last season, scoring eight goals. McGovern, who began his career at Newry City, has also played at U19 level for Northern Ireland. Falkirk finished sixth in their first season back in the Scottish Premiership last campaign and reached the Scottish Cup semi-finals, but were defeated by Dunfermline Athletic. McGovern said, "I am delighted to be joining Falkirk. I had good options in England and Scotland, but I believe Falkirk is the right choice for me at this stage in my career." McGovern is the third new signing of the summer window for Falkirk as they aim to continue their strong form in the top flight. Bairns boss John McGlynn, who was nominated for PFA Manager of the Year, added that the youngster has "huge potential". McGlynn said, "Paul is an attacking player who can play across all front positions. He is a young player with huge potential and he is highly thought of within the international set up." McGlynn also thanked Glenavon, who have been great to work with and have done a wonderful job coaching Paul to such a high standard.
