Declan Devine, Glentoran First Team Manager, said: “This is never the easiest part of being a football manager because you build relationships with players during your time together, but as a manager you have to make difficult decisions for the benefit of the football club.
“I want to thank every one of these lads for their efforts, commitment and professionalism during their time at Glentoran. They’ve all contributed positively and have been a valued part of the dressing room. On behalf of everyone at the Club, I’d like to wish them every success in the next stage of their careers.
“There will be further updates regarding the playing squad in the weeks ahead as we continue to strengthen the group ahead of our UEFA Conference League qualifying campaign and the challenge of competing for domestic honours next season.”
