Glackin extends his stay

COLERAINE Football Club are pleased to announce that Jamie Glackin has extended his contract for another three years… 

Glackin signed for Coleraine after a spell at Crusaders. This new contract sees the midfielder extend his stay until June 2025. During his time at Coleraine he has made *139 appearances [128 starts, 11 subs] contributing with 19 goals and 41 assists playing 11,109 mins in total.

Speaking about the deal, Coleraine Manager Oran Kearney said: “We know that the rumours have been going around but to be fair Colin and I sat down with Jamie and had a really good, straight forward conversation.

“I got the feeling towards the end of the season that Jamie was happy here and our conversation reflected that. He loves the club, he’s mad keen to stay and feels appreciated by everyone at the club.

“There is a stereotype of a creative midfielder that they don’t want to do the hard yards but to be fair Jamie he’s right up there as one of our hardest workers, that’s what draws fans towards him, you know that every-time he goes out there, you’ll get a shift out of him.”

Reflecting on how happy he was to get the deal sorted so early into the preparations for the new season, Jamie Glackin said.

“The one thing I was certain about, was how happy I am at the club, playing every week for the best manager in the league, so it was a no brainer for me.

“I tried the full time thing at Crusaders and it didn’t work out and as soon as I came to Coleraine, they gave me my chance and I wanted to be loyal.”
