COLERAINE FC is delighted to announce the arrival of defender Adam Long on a multi-year deal…
The 24-year-old makes the switch to The Showgrounds after appearing for AFC Fylde last season.
Born in the Isle of Man, Long left the island to join Wigan Athletic’s academy in 2017, where he made the breakthrough into the first-team and racked up 23 appearances.
The left-sided centre-half made a permanent switch to Doncaster Rovers in July 2022 for an undisclosed fee, staying at the South Yorkshire club until signing for AFC Fylde in January 2024.
Speaking about his latest arrival, boss Ruaidhri Higgins said: “He will bring a real physical presence, he’s a big man and he gives you balance by being a left-footed centre-back.
“He’s got a lot of really good attributes, he’s only 24 and I’m really excited to work with him.
“He’s young, he’s hungry and he wants to come here and do well.
“We’ve known about him for a wee while, we’ve studied his game and I’ve spoken to a lot of good people in England who have worked with him.
“They have all spoken highly of him as a footballer who has the possibility of playing at a really, really high level.
“Hopefully we can unlock that potential and he can kick on.”
