St Patrick's Athletic announced the signing of Glory Nzingo in January 2026 as the attacker returned to Richmond Park from Swansea City on a permanent deal.

The Ireland U21 international recently returned to Swansea following a loan spell at MLS Next Pro outfit Carolina Core, where he scored nine goals in 27 games.

Nzingo (now 21) arrived at the St Patrick's Athletic Academy in January 2019 from Cherry Orchard and played a key role in our U15 League and Cup double that season.

He made his first senior appearance for the club in a mid-season friendly against Frank Lampard's Chelsea at Richmond Park in July 2019, aged 14, before being involved in our U19 League title win in December 2020.

He moved to French side Stade de Reims in the summer of 2021 and has spent the last five-and-a-half years playing across France, the US and Wales.

Nzingo had been training with St Pat's for the last number of weeks and featured in pre-season friendlies against Wexford FC (in which he scored) Bray Wanderers, Cork City and Treaty United
