Traynor - the 32-year-old left-back - secured a switch to Cliftonville from Coleraine.

Glentoran and Dungannon Swifts featured in key deals.

The Glens secured highly-rated midfielder Terry Devlin from the Swifts - with Caolan Marron moving in the opposite direction on a permanent transfer.

Teenager Devlin is a Northern Ireland under 21 international and rated as one of the most talented young midfielders in the Irish League.

Marron’s move to Stangmore Park marks a significant boost to the Swifts, with the defender on the radar of a number of Premiership sides.

Ben Cushnie has also left the Oval to sign for the Swifts, although only on a season-long loan.

Glentoran have also agreed to Ciaran O’Connor joining Newry City AFC on a season-long loan.
