Young midfielder arrives at Haig Avenue

We’re delighted to welcome Dana De Oliveira Amaral to Southport Football Club on an initial one-year deal, with the option of an extra season in the Club’s favour.

The Mozambique-born central midfielder joins the club following his recent departure from Warrington Town. Having made 16 league appearances for Warrington last season after making the cross-town move from Rylands, Dana has had a taste of National League North football and adds further youthful energy to our midfield lines.

The 21-year old spent the majority of his youth career at Preston North End, playing for the Lilywhites between the ages of U12-U18, before penning a one-year professional deal at Deepdale. In that year, Dana was on the bench for Carabao Cup games against Huddersfield Town and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Dana left PNE in 2023, going on to gain experience in men’s football with Skelmersdale United, Warrington Rylands and most recently, Warrington Town.
