Stevenage has signed Josh Magennis, a Northern Ireland international, to boost their squad.

What happened?

The 35-year-old forward joined Stevenage from Exeter City, which was relegated to League Two. Michael O'Neill, the Northern Ireland boss, is reluctant to select players from League Two, so this move keeps Magennis in his plans.

Why it matters for Stevenage

The signing is a significant boost for Stevenage, who finished 6th in League One with 75 points, 21 wins, 12 draws, and 13 losses. Their recent form has been WDWDL, with a last result of Stockport County 2-0 Stevenage on 2026-05-13.

What comes next?

Magennis has made 89 appearances for Northern Ireland, scoring 12 goals, and has played over 600 professional games with stints at Cardiff City, Aberdeen, Kilmarnock, Charlton Athletic, Bolton Wanderers, Hull City, and Wigan Athletic. | Category | Value | | --- | --- | | League standing | 6th in League One, 75 pts, 21W-12D-13L from 46 games | | Recent form | WDWDL | | Last result | Stockport County 2-0 Stevenage (2026-05-13) | Stevenage is currently 28 points behind leaders Lincoln, but the signing of Magennis could help them close the gap.
