In the Fost lane

Though players facing a former Club is a common theme in football, Seanna Foster finds himself in a particularly curious situation as Cliftonville prepare to host Warrenpoint Town in the Danske Bank Premiership.

As well as tackling his ex-employers, tomorrow’s encounter will also see the full-back come up against the very Manager who brought him to Solitude – but under whom he never got to work.

Barry Gray signed Foster up on a pre-contract agreement back in January but had left the Reds by the time the defender made his summer switch from the Point. Even so, the 21-year-old remains grateful to the returning Town boss for giving him the opportunity to move to BT14.

“The only experiences I’ve had with Barry is meeting him a couple of times before signing with the Club,” says Foster.

“The things that he said when I was signing with Cliftonville were unbelievable and you couldn’t turn away that opportunity for anything. Especially being from west Belfast, it’s a Club you dream of playing for.

“My thoughts are with Cliftonville and about winning every game with Cliftonville and doing the best as we can do.”
