Glenavon have confirmed the pre-contract signings of Linfield double-winners Andy Waterworth, Mark Stafford and Mark Haughey.
Fresh from their Premiership and Irish Cup successes, the trio have joined Gary Hamilton's Lurgan Blues.
The trio were unable to commit to Linfield's new full-time model, with Hamilton moving fast to secure their signings.
“For a club of our stature to bring in three players who gave achieved so much over the last five years is incredible, Hamilton told Glenavon's website:
“I hope that these players can take us to the next level. I don’t think we are that far away from being a top six side and I think bringing in three born leaders and born winners will help everyone at the football club.”
He added: "It is massive news for the football club. It is a real buzz for us to bring them here.
"It is hard to attract these types of players, and they have just won another double. It is difficult for us to attract these players, but with Linfield going full-time it doesn't suit every player to that.
"It is a massive coup for the football club. The three of them are out and out winners."
