Shaun of the Red

Cliftonville Football Club are delighted to announce that Shaun Leppard has signed a new contract.

Though injury disrupted his first season at Solitude following his summer 2024 arrival from Institute, the 25-year-old defender has been a key performer this term and has established himself as a firm favourite with supporters.

Voted the Club’s Player of the Month in March, Shaun – who made his debut in the UEFA Conference League clash with Auda – has scored three goals in 49 appearances for the Reds, to whom his latest deal ties him until the end of the 2026/27 season.
