Peter Maguire

Peter Maguire is an Irish defender who developed at the Sligo Rovers Academy before entering the club’s senior setup in 2021. He remained with Sligo Rovers through 2023, although regular first-team opportunities were limited. In August 2022, Maguire joined Ballinamallard United on loan to gain experience in the NIFL Championship, and the move became permanent in 2023. His time with Ballinamallard gave him an extended period of senior football in Northern Ireland. Maguire moved to Dungannon Swifts in 2025, returning to top-flight football and continuing his progression in the NIFL Premiership. Primarily a centre-back, he can also operate at left-back, offering defensive flexibility as he builds his career across the Irish and Northern Irish leagues.
