Cliftonville have added to their ranks for the new campaign with the arrival of Aaron Wightman.
The 22-year-old, who can play at right-back or at right-midfield, joins the Reds upon the expiry of his contract at Glentoran this summer.
Wightman emerged through the ranks at Glentoran after joining the club’s Academy at six-years-old.
He would go on to make 74 appearances for the Glens after making his debut, where he would also be capped at under-19 level for Northern Ireland.
Wightman joins Kyle McClelland and Dan O’Connor in making the switch to Solitude next season.
Cliftonville start their Premiership campaign with a north Belfast derby against Crusaders to open up the season on Friday, August 7.
