Signing

Evan’s the Man

COLERAINE FC is pleased to confirm the signing of Evan Tweed from Institute…

The midfielder becomes Oran Kearney’s second arrival of the summer transfer window after putting pen-to-paper at The Showgrounds.

The highly-rated 21-year-old was also on the books at Derry City before joining Institute last summer and he made 21 appearances in total for the North-West club last season.

Speaking to colerainefc.com, boss Kearney admits the Bannsiders have tracked Tweed’s progress over the last year.

“Evan was a player we became aware of last season,” he said.

“We played Institute twice after Christmas and he impressed in both games and I remember watching him closely in the 4-0 win back in February and thought we should monitor his progress.

“I spoke to plenty of people about him and they all gave great reviews and he has just completed his first season in senior football.

“He is energetic, technically very good on the ball and hungry to do well.

“It is great that we can add some competition for places in there alongside Stephen Lowry and Aaron Jarvis.”

The Club can confirm that Tweed will wear the number 14 shirt.
