Francely Lomboto has signed a new contract with Galway United.

The 20-year-old attacker, who joined the club from Galway Hibernians at under-17 level, has worked his way through the academy system at Eamonn Deacy Park.

Lomboto played under-19 football with United last season, but it wasn't long before he was promoted to the first team, and he made an immediate impact, scoring on just his second senior appearance against Athlone Town.

Further evidence of Lomboto's burgeoning promise was displayed when he scored a second goal against Cobh Ramblers at St. Colman's Park in August.

The striker continued to impress under John Caulfield, and Lomboto's blistering pace and directness gave United a real dynamism in the attacking third.
