In through the Jor

Cliftonville Football Club are very pleased to announce the signing of Reece Jordan from Portadown.

The 18-year-old left-back, who made his senior Irish League bow in May 2021, joins on a three-year deal and will be part of Jim Magilton’s matchday squad for tomorrow’s Sports Direct Premiership encounter with Glentoran at The Oval.

“I see this signing as a signal of our intent as a Club,” explains the Manager.

“We’re very much in a building project at the minute and we’re looking to the future in terms of the profile of a lot of the players we’ve brought in. There’s no age limit on that – it doesn’t matter how young someone is, it’s all about how good they are and much better we believe they can be in the future.

“Gerard Lyttle has worked with Reece in the underage set-up with Northern Ireland, so we have a very clear knowledge of what we’re getting with him.

“Reece is an ambitious player who is desperate to learn and we believe he can really bring his game on at Cliftonville. He’s done great work at Portadown, he has some good experience under his belt despite being so young and I’m really looking forward to working with him.”
