The following players will be leaving Glentoran on the expiry of their contracts next week:
- Gael Bigirimana
- Dillon Powers
- Robbie McDaid.
Mick McDermott said of the three departing players:
“Bigi has been a top professional during his time at Glentoran. His personality is infectious, and I can say that he had a positive impact within our squad. Bigi now is considering options as far as Asia, Middle East and Africa. We wish him every success in his next step.
Having joined us late in the 21/22 season, Dillon showed his quality in the final months of the season. We know that with a pre-season under his belt there would be a lot more to come from him/ However he has decided to return to the US with his family to move into the next phase of his career. He is a top professional and person.
Robbie scored some vital goals for Glentoran in his five seasons here/ Most notably, he played an integral role in the Irish Cup success in 2020 ...scoring the winner in extra-time. He successfully took the step with us in 2019 when moving from part-time to full-time football and he played his part in our journey. He has surely left some great memories in the hearts of our fans. Robbie has decided to move on at the expiry of his current contract and has informed us that he has agreed terms with Linfield FC. We wish Robbie the best in his future.”
News of all incoming or departing players will be announced first on www.glentoran.com and on the club’s official social media feeds.
