Declan Gallagher signs with Livingston for a second time
Friday 6 January 2017 07:48, UK
Scottish League One pacesetters Livingston have re-signed Declan Gallagher until the end of the campaign.
Gallagher was a player for Livingston when he was jailed for three years in June 2015 for his role in the assault of a man who was attacked with a baseball bat.
The 25-year-old was released from prison at the end of December and he has been given an opportunity to get his career back on track.
He has trained regularly with Championship side Raith Rovers during his day release work placement from prison, and the centre-half could be handed an immediate return to the Livingston team for the trip to Peterhead as David Hopkin's league leaders bid to bounce back from back-to-back defeats.
"Livingston FC would like to welcome back Declan Gallagher for the remainder of the season," a club statement read.
"Declan will help the club push on with our target of making an immediate return to the SPFL Championship."
Gallagher previously played with Clyde before moving to Dundee in 2012 where he made 60 appearances as a defender in two years at Dens Park.
