Cliftonville confirm signing of former Glentoran and Fleetwood Town midfielder
Cliftonville have confirmed the signing of former Fleetwood Town midfielder Harry Wilson.
The 20-year-old came through the ranks at Glentoran before joining Fleetwood in 2020 and shortly after signed his first professional deal with the Football League outfit, penning a three-year contract at Highbury Stadium which expired this summer.
During his time in England, Wilson enjoyed a loan spell with Northern Premier League side FC United of Manchester while he has also earned youth international caps for Northern Ireland, representing his country at U16 and U17 level.
He worked under current Cliftonville assistant manager Gerard Lyttle with the U16s, making four appearances in friendlies against Estonia and Finland and will now reunite with his former boss at Solitude.
Elsewhere, the Reds have been drawn against Championship outfit Armagh City, who defeated Glenavon in a dramatic penalty shootout, in the BetMcLean Cup quarter-finals after Ryan Corrigan’s late winner in a 1-0 triumph over Bangor.
Annagh United will host either Larne or Institute, Ballymena United welcome the winner of Linfield vs Glentoran to the Showgrounds and Dungannon Swifts travel to Crusaders.
