Elsewhere, Loughgall announced that striker Jay Boyd’s short-term loan deal has come to an end and he’ll be returning to parent club Crusaders in January.

The 20-year-old scored four Premiership goals in 17 appearances for the league’s newcomers, who have enjoyed an impressive return to life in the top-flight and sit just one point adrift of sixth-placed Coleraine after their 3-1 success at the Showgrounds on Saturday.

Boyd netted against Carrick Rangers, Ballymena United, Cliftonville and Dungannon Swifts while also scoring in Mid-Ulster Cup successes over Valley Rangers and Armagh City.
