It was a one man show on Saturday evening when the Castlereagh Glentoran Supporters' Club welcomed its officers, members, Glentoran players and officials to the club’s annual Player of the Year Awards Night for the 2023/24 season.
Young defender Jonathan Russell was a very popular winner of both Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year after playing 35 games in his breakthrough season after progressing through the ranks of the Glentoran Academy. He was also selected for the Northern Ireland Under 21 squad for the first time. Jonathan is currently recovering from an injury but will be part of the foundations on which the next Glentoran era will be built.
The awards were presented to Jonathan by Castlereagh GSC Chairman Andrew Stewart and club member and GFC1882 Director Matthew Brown from the “Shout at the Oval” podcast. Matthew and Jonathan also conducted a fun Q&A session.
The parent club was represented by CEO Tony Webster, Chairman Colin Jess, skipper Marcus Kane and directors Ruth McCreery and Nichola Miller.
A great night as always on Grand Parade.
