Matthew Shevlin in Coleraine switch from Linfield
Coleraine have secured Matthew Shevlin on a two-and-a-half year deal from Linfield.
“There are few number nines in this league where they have the pace to get in behind defences and Matthew certainly has that in the locker,” Coleraine boss Oran Kearney told the club’s official website. “Despite only being 22 years old, he has a huge amount of Irish League experience after playing in over 150 games for Ballymena United and Linfield.
“We had our eye on Matthew before his switch to Linfield but we are now looking forward to working with him and getting things up and running.
“He is a good age, has a good profile and all the attributes that we are looking for.”
The striker kicked off his career with the Bannsiders’ derby rivals, Ballymena United, before joining Linfield in 2019.
