Gary Hamilton agrees Glenavon contract extension

The Lurgan Blues boss, who will mark 10 years at the club later this year, thank the club for its continued support.

“The one thing that I’ve had from the club is the massive support of the Chairman and the board,” he told the club website.

“They’ve always backed me and left me to my own devices whenever I’ve gone to sign a player. That’s all I can ever ask of them.

“Everybody, right down to the Academy, has bought in to what we have tried to do. That has been a big part of our success, particularly when you look at the players we have brought through.”

Club chairman Adrian Teer highlighted the success Hamilton has brought to the club.

He said: “He joined us as a full-timer and it’s paid dividends for us. Nine years later we’ve had two Irish Cup successes, four seasons in Europe with the highlight beating Molde deservedly as well as six top six finishes and four top three finishes.

It really has been a success story and we would see this as a reward for Gary and the board’s recognition of the job he has done.”
