Current Northern Ireland Under-21 goalkeeper Ollie Webber has re-joined the club after six years in English football.
Ollie (22) is a successful graduate of the Glentoran Academy, having been with the club from the ages of 12 to 16 years before leaving for Crystal Palace. He spent five years with Palace and was a regular starter in the Premiership club’s Under 23 side, before joining Portsmouth in the 2021-2022 season.
Glentoran FC is delighted to announce that our central defender Patrick McClean has signed an extension to his contract. This means that Paddy has now committed himself to Glentoran until at least the end of the 2024/25 season.
Since joining the club from Derry City in July 2019, Paddy has made 119 first team appearances for the club, scoring 6 goals. He has been a regular throughout that time, was captain for much of the 2021-22 season while Marcus Kane was injured and has been a major fan favourite from the very early stages of his career at the Met McLean Oval.
Glentoran Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of James Singleton from Glenavon.
James (26) has spent his entire career to date at Mourneview Park, having formed a very youthful and effective partnership with Rhys Marshall as they came through the ranks together. He won an Irish Cup winner’s medal in 2014 as an 18-year-old, has played in Europe for Glenavon on a number of occasions and was captain last season

Ross Glendinning has left Glentoran after a season at the Bet McLean Oval to join Carrick Rangers.
Ross said of his move: "I achieved a dream of playing for Glentoran, and although I didn't play as often as I wanted, I'm proud to have been a Glentoran player. But I just want to play football and I'm very pleased to be given the opportunity to do that with Carrick Rangers."
