Sean Hargan (born November 6, 1974 in Derry, Northern Ireland) is a defender playing for Football League of Ireland club, Derry City. One of the veterans of the 1996-97 league-winning side, Hargan continues to play an integral part for the Candystripes and had his testimonial year in 2005.
[edit] Career
As a youngster he broke into the team in the position of striker and scored a hat trick on his debut. Hargan later converted to left back, where he offers total commitment to the side. This has endeared him to the fans. Hargan has scored more than 50 competitive goals for the Candystripes, including a decisive header away to IFK Gothenburg in the 2006 UEFA Cup qualifying round.[1] Also during the 2006 league season, Derry City escaped punishment for fielding a banned Hargan due to the league failing informing Derry City in the correct timeframe.[2] By the end of that season, Hargan had made a total of 393 appearances for the club - that makes him the club's third highest appearer ever.
With the signing of Dave Rogers at the beginning of the 2007 season, Hargan's first-team place came under stiff competition.
