Glentoran have officially announced the signing of striker Michael O’Connor.
O'Connor - who recently left newly-promoted Shelbourne in the League of Ireland - returns to the Irish Premiership after previously spending two years on Linfield's books.
The 23-year-old's former clubs also include Shamrock Rovers, Waterford and Ross County.
O'Connor - who joins up with his brother Ciaran at the Oval - will be eligible to play when the January transfer window opens.
Glens boss Mick McDermott told the club's website : “I’m delighted to have got Michael signed and I know he will increase our attacking options for the second half of the season.
"It’s well known that we tried to sign him when he left Linfield and following that, so it's great to finally get him. Michael is well known to most of our players, and he knows the league as he’s been to quite a few of our matches this season, along with Ciaran.
"I’ve said all along that when good players become available, we’ll be in for them. That will continue to be the case.”
O’Connor - who scored 11 goals in 37 games for the Blues before leaving Windsor Park in 2019 - netted seven times in 25 league games as Shels won the League of Ireland First Division title last season but wasn’t part of new manager Damien Duff’s plans.
