Cliftonville have announced the signing of Institute midfielder Ronan Doherty.
The 23-year-old has put pen-to-paper on a deal at Solitude after impressing in the Premiership last season.
He is a player Reds boss Paddy McLaughlin knows well after he signed Doherty at Stute last summer from Ulster Senior League side Cockhill Celtic.
Doherty told Cliftonville's website: “I can’t wait to get started.
“It’s great to be joining such a big Club where there are so many quality players and hopefully I can come in and play a big part.
“Paddy McLaughlin gave me the call a year ago about coming to Stute and, when the call came again about moving to Cliftonville, I couldn’t wait to make it happen and I’m very pleased to get everything done.”
McLaughlin added: “It’s great to have brought Ronan to Cliftonville.
“At Institute last season, it didn’t seem to matter whether we won, drew or lost, opponents were always asking me who our number 6 was because people were impressed with him week after week.
“He stepped into the Premiership and took to it straight away. We always believed he could keep getting better and better and I’m delighted to get his signature for Cliftonville.”
