Kevin Braniff set to leave Portadown this summer as club continues rebuilding process

Kevin Braniff could be heading out of Portadown this summer.

It is understood that the 36-year-old forward is likely to leave Shamrock Park after the club failed to get promoted to the Danske Bank Premiership.

The Ports lost out to Carrick Rangers last week to end their hopes of returning to the top flight.

Manager Matthew Tipton has already started the rebuilding process ahead of next season.

The club confirmed at the weekend that Mark Carson, Jerry Thompson, Andy Kilmartin and Jamie Douglas have been released following the end of their contracts.

And now it seems talisman Braniff - who has one year remaining on his current contract - could be set to leave the Mid-Ulster club.

Three players who are staying are Adam McCallum, Liam McKenna and Greg Hall.

McCallum and McKenna have agreed new two-year contracts while Hall has signed a new one-year deal.
