The 21-year-old has also signed a new contract with the Imps until the summer of 2029, with an additional one-year option. He joins Dean Brennan's side after helping Boston United to a 12th-place finish in the National League during a loan spell last season, making 27 league appearances. A product of Derry City's academy, Gallagher signed for Lincoln in 2021 and has also represented the Republic of Ireland at youth level. "We've been after Oisin for a while and we've had to stay patient because plenty of clubs were chasing him, but he decided to choose us," Brennan told the club website. "He's a perfect fit for what we see him as - a dynamic, athletic midfield player. He can get around the pitch, he's good in contact, good in duels and a great presence on the pitch." Gallagher added: "I had a chat with the gaffer a few weeks ago and it's a club that's ambitious, that's really driven, and I feel like it's the right step for me and the right place for me to come and play my football."
