We are delighted to announce the return of centre-back Matthew Rendina as our second signing of the summer.

Having previously played with the club’s Under-20 side, Matty has enjoyed a successful last two seasons in the Premier Intermediate League with Banbridge Town.

“Matty is someone I have watched a lot recently and has performed really well,” said Manager Stuart King.

“He is a young dominant centre half who has lots of potential and has the drive to play at the highest level.

“I’m excited to work with him, and I can see him progressing to be a top player.”

“I’m delighted to sign back at The Showgrounds, having played my first spell at the club at Under 20 level,” said Rendina.

“I enjoyed my time at Banbridge Town, but I’m excited to be back and play under Stuart.

“The facilities at the club are top class, so I’m really looking forward to pre-season starting and getting going.”
