McGowan Joins Henan Jiayne

Dundee United today confirmed the sale of Ryan McGowan to Chinese super league club Henan Jianye for an undisclosed fee. The 26-year-old Australian internationalist joined United in January 2015 and made his debut in the 2-1 League cup semi final victory over Aberdeen later that month. He played 41 times for the Terrors and scored his only goal for United in a 1-1 draw against Inverness in February 2015. Speaking to dufc.co, Ryan said, “I have really enjoyed my twelve months at United and I would like to thank everyone at the Club, from the fans, coaches, fellow players to everyone behind the scenes who made it a great experience. I was proud to have captained the team on a couple of occasions this season and leave with many positive memories. “I am excited to be heading back to Chinese football and it is a great move for me to a fantastic club in Henna Jianye. Once United had accepted the bid I was very interested in the move. Now that all the paper work is completed, I look forward to the next stage of my football career."
