COLERAINE FC is delighted to announce the arrival of attacker Zane Okoro on a season-long loan…
The 18-year-old makes the move to The Showgrounds from parent club Lincoln City.
Hailing from Connecticut in the United States, Okoro joined Lincoln at U15 level, enjoying a successful period in the Academy setup which saw him impress and earn the chance to train with the first-team.
Okoro made his first-team debut for the Imps against Chesham United in the FA Cup, before scoring on his first start against Manchester City U21 in the Vertu Trophy.
Furthermore, he made two further appearances towards the end of the 2024/25 campaign, including his Sky Bet League One debut at the LNER Stadium against Shrewsbury Town.
Speaking about the addition, Bannsiders boss Ruaidhri Higgins said: “When I look at our squad…Lewis McGregor is probably the only natural wide player we have who holds his width and is direct in his approach.
“Zane can also do that, he’s fearless and I feel it’s important that we aren’t too predictable.
“Like all our signings, we have done a lot of homework on him and his character references have all been brilliant.
“Lincoln also sees huge potential in Zane and we are delighted they’ve put their trust in us to help him develop further.”
