Several of the players will be coming up to watch the Final so why not come along and watch the game too?

‘Winkie’ Murphy Signs for Glenavon

Gary Hamilton has moved to fill the gap at the heart of his defence created by the departure of Mark Haughey by signing the man he will replace at Linfield, William ‘Winkie’ Murphy, on a one year deal.

“Winkie played over 40 times for Linfield last season, which shows he has kept himself fit and he himself felt that he had another good season in him after David Jeffrey declined to offer him a contract extension” Gary explained. “He has that winning mentality that we are looking for in the squad and he will be a great asset in terms of working with and giving his knowledge and experience to the younger players but also he’ll be a big help to the coaching staff and a great character in the changing room. Like Davy Rainey, at no point in our talks was money a factor, they both just want to play football and that’s exactly the attitude we need.”

Gary also mentioned that he is in talks with a midfielder and hopes to hear a positive response from him early next week.
