The Glentoran Board of Directors, having received a written request from Sean Ward seeking a release from his contract, have reluctantly decided to place Sean on the transfer list with immediate effect.
We are naturally disappointed to be losing a player of Sean's calibre and experience and wish to thank him for the significant contribution that he has made to our club. We also wish Sean well with whichever club successfully negotiates his transfer.

The Board of Directors is disappointed to announce that, despite offering Andy Waterworth an improved 3 year contract, he has opted to let his current deal lapse in order to sign for another club which was both prepared to meet his salary expectations and guarantee his position as their first choice forward. Whilst naturally disappointed to lose Andy after his most productive season at the Club, the Board of Directors is not willing to engage in a bidding war that would endanger our ability to work within a sustainable budget.
