The young Letterkenny man signed for Harps from Bonagee United at the start of the 2004 season. After Felix Healy's appointment, Funston became a permanent fixture in the side, alongside Anthony Gorman in the middle of the pitch. Picked up a First Division Championship medal in his first season at the club. A hard working midfield player, Funston likes to get forward at every opportunity and scores more than his fair share of goals. Missed quite a number of games through injury in the middle of this season, but is once again showing the form of two seasons ago.
