Everyone at Glentoran Women wishes goalkeeper Jackie Burns all the very best as she leaves the club to start a two year full time professional career with BF Häcken in Gothenburg, Sweden. Jackie - Northern Ireland's first choice keeper and likely to remain so for the forthcoming Euros in England - was a star of the Glens' 2020 League and Cup winning squad and started the 2021 season as first choice keeper before returning to university in the USA. She will be missed by everyone at the club.
Jackie will become the fourth recent former Glens player to operate full time in the forthcoming season. She joins Demi Vance (Rangers), Annie Timoney (Celtic) and Kerry Beattie (Glasgow City). All three are starring with their new clubs and will be pushing hard to join Kenny Shiels' Northern Ireland Euros squad, along with many of our current players.
