The greatest goalscorer in Cliftonville’s history surpassed Kevin McGarry’s long-standing record of 170 strikes in October 2018.
A double title-winner with the Reds prior to a move to Peterborough United, the man known simply as ‘The Goal’ remains a regular presence at the top of seasonal goalcharts and is widely recognised as arguably the most deadly finisher in Ireland.
He maintained that reputation with a stunning end to the 2021/22 campaign when he earned a share of the Club’s Golden Boot with Ryan Curran en route to shooting Cliftonville to a League Cup Final victory over Coleraine and second place in the Premiership before registering a personal landmark in November 2022 when a strike against Glenavon saw him reach the 250 goal tally for the Club.
May 2024, meanwhile, saw him end his Testimonial Season by getting his hands on the Irish Cup to complete a clean sweep of domestic honours with the Reds.
