“Having seen Kofi Balmer move to Crystal Palace this summer we were clearly keen to strengthen our squad with a quality central defender,” he said.
“We feel Shaun gives us that and we are delighted to bring him to the club. Shaun’s desire to come here and play was also a big factor and we look forward to helping him progress with us.
“He’s been in a full-time environment for his entire career and was keen to continue that at Inver Park. We’re looking forward to seeing him get started.”
