Click below to listen to our exclusive interview with Gary Hamilton as he reviews a busy pre-season and looks ahead to the season ahead.

Newly appointed Club Captain Ciaran Martyn will be missing the first few weeks of the season after he picked up a calf strain against Ards Rangers and James Singleton has a neck injury but it’s hopeful that midfield kingpin Andy Kilmartin has overcome his calf problem. Gary also informed us that Jamie Rea has signed on loan with Loughgall until January 2016.

Former Glenavon defender Fra Brennan has signed for the Reds from Dungannon Swifts and Tommy Breslin continues to be linked with a move to sign Portadown striker Darren Murray to replace the prolific Joe Gormley who is now with Peterborough United.
