Football: Singleton signs new deal to remain at Glentoran
James Singleton says Glentoran are moving in the right direction after the 29-year-old signed a two and a half year contract extension to remain at The Oval.
The former Glenavon man has penned a deal to stay in East Belfast until at least 2027. Since joining in July 2022, Singleton has made 74 appearances, scoring four goals across all competitions.
"This club means a lot to me, and I’m proud to be part of what we’re building here," says Singleton.
“Declan and the coaching staff have brought a new level of professionalism to the club, and the entire squad has bought into it. Even though results have been a mixed bag so far, I’m confident we’re moving in the right direction.
“We’ve got a young, talented squad, and we’re all working hard to deliver consistency and results. My focus is on giving everything for the team and helping Glentoran achieve the success our fans deserve – silverware."
First Team Manager Declan Devine added: "Singo is an outstanding professional and his never-say-die attitude, leadership qualities, and versatility make him an invaluable part of our squad.
“He wears his heart on his sleeve every time he steps onto the pitch, and his dedication to the badge is second to none. That’s the type of character we want at this club and what the fans love to see.
"Beyond his leadership qualities, James is a top-class footballer. His ability to read the game, his combative tackling, and his range of passing is first class. Whether in defence or midfield, his contribution makes an impact on every game."
