New deal for Paddy

Following discussions with our Manager this evening, Cliftonville Football Club are delighted to announce that Paddy McLaughlin has agreed a new deal at Solitude.

Paddy assumed the reins in February 2019 and recently reached the 100-game milestone at the helm of Ireland’s Oldest Football Club and, having committed to the Reds at the conclusion of what was a gruelling 2020/21 season, is already making preparations for the new campaign.

Chairman Gerard Lawlor said: “We are very pleased to have agreed a new deal with Paddy and look forward to building on the hard work he has done in the last two-and-a-half years.

“The season just finished was a very challenging one on and off the park but one thing that never relented was Paddy’s determination and desire to improve Cliftonville every day of every week and I have no doubt he will continue to work as hard as he has ever done as we build towards next season.”
