Gareth Coughlan (born: 24 November 1989) is a versatile winger who signed for Dundalk on Friday 10 February, having previously spent time in the League of Ireland with Bray Wanderers and Saint Patrick’s Athletic.
Coughlan made his debut for Bray against Finn Harps in June 2008, and during his time at the Carlisle Grounds played alongside Derek Foran, Chris Shields and Shane O’Neill, who are all part of Seán McCaffrey’s squad at Dundalk.
The Dubliner had joined the Seagulls from Lourdes Celtic.
Ahead of the 2010 season, Coughlan signed for St. Pat’s. However, the following May, he suffered a double fracture to his right leg while playing against Bohemians.
He returned to Richmond Park last year and was named on the bench when Dundalk visited the Inchicore venue in July, while he featured in a number of the Saints’ A-Championship games over the following five weeks.
In September, he signed for Sacred Heart in the Leinster Senior League.
On 10 February, after training with the squad for three weeks, Coughlan signed a one-year deal with the Lilywhites which will see him spend the 2012 season at Oriel Park.
Gareth made his Dundalk debut as a substitute in a scoreless draw against Monaghan United at Gortakeegan on 2 March.
