Dayle Coleing has left Glentoran to return to his native Gibraltar to join League Champions Lincoln Red Imps on loan. Dayle joined Glentoran in August 2020, making 26 appearances to date for the club, the most recent in our away UEFA Europa Conference matches with The New Saints. We wish Dayle all the very best while at Lincoln Red Imps.
Mick McDermott: “We have agreed a loan deal with Lincoln Red Imps for this season. Several clubs were chasing Dayle the past month or so and we have taken our time to decide on the best deal for Glentoran and the future of the player.
Dayle remains a Glentoran player for the next 2 seasons.
I wish Dayle every success at Lincoln and with the Gibraltar national team. He is a talented and honest player and, no doubt, has a bright future ahead”.
