Larne announce signing of former Ipswich Town winger Conor McKendry

Larne have announced the signing of former Ipswich Town winger Conor McKendry.

The 20-year-old arrives at Inver Park as free agent following his release from the Tractor Boys at the end of last season.

McKendry - a former youth player at St Oliver Plunkett and Larne - moved to Ipswich from Glenavon as a 16-year-old.

The Northern Ireland youth international featured mainly for Ipswich's Under 23 squad and also had a spell with Baintree.

Larne coach Tiernan Lynch believes the wide man will be another positive addition to his squad at Inver Park.

“Conor is a very talented young lad, who has trained with us on a number of occasions," Lynch told Larne's website.

“He was hugely thought of at Ipswich and a change of management there probably didn’t get him where he wanted to go.

“I think he’s a lad who needed time to get home and get games under his belt and he’ll hopefully do that here.

“As a player he’ll run in behind, he can play with both feet and he’s the difference maker in matches – a very exciting player to watch.”
