League of Ireland stalwart Conan Byrne joins Glenavon

League of Ireland stalwart Conan Byrne has joined Irish League side Glenavon.

The former Shelbourne, St Pat’s, Sporting Fingal and UCD winger, 34, has signed an 18-month deal.

Glenavon boss Gary Hamilton said: “With Conan, it’s goals.

“If you look at his career in the League of Ireland and his stats at St. Pat’s, he’s scored near enough one in four from right wing and that’s big going for any winger.

“He brings goals and experience to the team. He’s played for a big club and, if you look at our squad, we maybe lack players who have been in pressure situations.

“Sometimes when you go through sticky patches, players like that can help you. He’s looked after himself all his career and hopefully that will stand us in good stead

“The winning mentality he has has kept him going for longer and hopefully that drive will spread through the changing room.”
