Larne, Lisburn Rangers, Linfield and Cliftonville all make announcements

IT’S been a busy week for the Premiership sides with four teams expanding their squad this week ahead of the 2024 campaign.

The Inver Reds have strengthened their team and have announced that Tara Gilmore and Ella Parker will join the club.

Both central defender Gilmore and winger Parker played for Ballyclare Comrades last season, who came runners up in the Championship.

These announcements come after the historic signing of Kate Smith, the first female to sign a professional contract at the club.

Newly promoted Lisburn Rangers have added Jack Little to their coaching staff ahead of their first season in the Premiership. Little most recently coached at Fleetwod Town Boys and has also been involved in the coaching staff in Glentoran Women u19s and Linfield Ladies u19s.

Ryan McConville has added Cora Chambers to his Linfield side. The 21-year-old netted 31 goals and was key to Sion Swifts success in the Premiership.

They have also announced that defender Abi Sweetlove has extended her contract.

Meanwhile, Cliftonville have announced that Naomi McLaughlin will join the club from Sion Swifts. The Northern Ireland u19 international is their first new signing ahead of the 2024 campaign.
