“I had spoken to Garth in pre-season but he chose Coleraine in what was a tight call,” Anderson told the club’s website.

“Garth is a quick attacking left back and it’s an area where we need players playing in their natural position. Along with David Elliott we now have great competition and cover in a vital area.”

“After his release from Coleraine, Garth had signed for Dergview but as he has not played or been registered, he can now play for ourselves and I would like to thank Dergview manager Richard Clarke for his understanding over this signing. He was able to see the bigger picture given his vast experience as a Premiership player at Portadown”.
