Aaron McCarey joins Glentoran

Tue, 27/07/2021 - 18:00

Glentoran Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of goalkeeper Aaron McCarey from Cliftonville on a three-year contract. Jamie McDonagh has joined Cliftonville as part of the deal.

Aaron (29) has no shortage of top-level experience, having played first team football for Wolverhampton Wanderers, Walsall, York City, Portsmouth, Bury and Ross County. Last season he played for Dundalk in the group stages of the UEFA Europa League. He has represented the Republic of Ireland at Under 17,18.19 and U21 level and was named in senior international squads as recently as 2018. Aaron had a previous spell in the NIFL Danske Bank Premiership at Warrenpoint Town, where he seriously impressed Irish League spectators.

Aaron told GlensTV: “I’m delighted Glentoran has given me the opportunity to get back into full-time football as its where I’ve been virtually my whole career bar the past six months. Mick and Windy really sold the club’s ambitions to me. They’re very exciting and definitely match my own ambitions. I’ve played here a couple of times and I know how big the club is with a big fanbase and a great history. The club and the fans can be guaranteed my complete commitment and I intend to play my full part in bringing plenty of success to Glentoran.”

Mick McDermott: “Aaron is a great addition to our team. We have always said that if good players become available then Glentoran will be in that market.

He showed his quality last season in the Premier League and comes with a good pedigree. We know Aaron will play a massive role in the coming seasons.

I would like to thank Cliftonville, Gerard Lawlor and Paddy McLoughlin for their professionalism in handling this transfer”.

GlensTV will have a full interview with Aaron later this evening.

Welcome to the Oval Aaron and best wishes for the future Jamie.
