Glentoran Football Club is delighted to announce that highly-rated defender Ciaran Rogers-Duffy has signed his first professional contract, committing his future to the club until the end of the 2026/27 season.

A product of the Glentoran Academy and the club’s Elite Scholarship Programme, the commanding 18-year-old centre-back enjoyed an exceptional 2024/25 season, captaining both the Colts and Reserves.

A youthful Glentoran Select XI was narrowly beaten 2-1 by Dundonald FC on Saturday afternoon at the Billy Neil Centre of Excellence in the Carol Preston Memorial Cup.

The match was held in support of the Friends of the Cancer Centre, with Glentoran fielding a squad made up of Reserve and Colts players, including several who featured in Friday night’s 1-0 win over East Belfast.

Dundonald opened the scoring in the first half before James McClure brought the Glens level shortly after the break with a well-taken finish.

Glentoran opened their 2025/26 pre-season campaign with a 1-0 win over East Belfast at Inverary Park, courtesy of a composed second-half finish from Academy graduate Jude Johnson.

Back in action following a two-week return to training, Declan Devine named two different starting XIs across each half, using the fixture to build fitness and assess his squad.

Glentoran Women fell to a dramatic 4-2 defeat against Cliftonville Ladies in Sunday’s VBET Women’s League Cup Final at Seaview, despite holding a two-goal lead at the break.

A blistering first-half performance from the Glens saw Emily Wilson strike twice to put her side in control. The forward capitalised on a defensive error to slot home the opener inside four minutes, before latching onto a superb Demi Vance through ball to double the advantage just after the half-hour mark.
