Glentoran Women’s preparations for the 2024 season were ramped up this weekend with the signings of Sofie Keenan and Aimee Neal. Both girls are currently regular members of the Northern Ireland U19 squad.
Sofie (17) is a left back who joins us from Linfield. She joined the Blues in 2021 and where she was a regular first team starter last season. She is from Warrenpoint.
Aimee (20) is a centre back from Fivemiletown and joins from Sion Swifts. While at Swifts Aimee won the League Cup and was a member of the Swifts side that lost the Electric Ireland Cup Final to the Glens in 2022.
Head Coach Kim Turner said of the new signings: “I'm delighted that Sofie and Aimee have put pen to paper and signed for Glentoran. They have youth on their side but also bring experience from playing in the NIFL Premier League and at International Youth level. They will add depth to our squad defensively and I'm really excited to work with both players and develop them alongside our other new signing Aimee Kerr. I welcome our new signings to Glentoran and look forward to them meeting the rest of the players in Pre-Season.”
Aimee Kerr was our first new signing of the close season, joining in November. Aimee (17) joins us after four seasons with Ballyclare Comrades. Se is a midfielder who is also a member of the Northern Ireland U19 squad.
A warm welcome to all three girls from the Glentoran Family!
Interviews with each of the new players will be published on the GWFC News page.
