Also at today's training session was our other new signing, Kodi Lyons-Foster who joined us last weekend and who will wear the number 2 made legendary by such all time Glentoran Legends as Rab McCreery, George Neill and Colin Nixon in recent decades.

Declan Devine said of his deadline activity: “I’m delighted to add the two lads to the group after bringing Kodi in last week. Finley will be an exciting addition to our squad as a very creative attacking midfielder who’s also very comfortable playing off either wings.
Danny is a vastly experienced left sided player with family from Castlereagh in East Belfast. He is a Northern Ireland U21 international who will give us a great competition and attacking threats playing off the left-hand side.
We’re sorry to see Leon leave the club but it was a decision based around the lad being able to return to part time football and also have the opportunity for employment in his job. We wish him well”
We welcome and look forward to supporting the new boys, and wish Leon, all the very best for the future and thank him for his efforts in a Glentoran shirt.
