Carrick Rangers have announced that defender Reece Glendinning has signed a contract extension.
The versatile 26-year-old can operate in midfield and defence and has been well received by Gers supporters since his arrival at the club last season from Ballymena United.
Manager Stuart King says he "delighted" to see the player extend his stay.
Speaking to the club website, King said: “I am delighted Reece has agreed to stay, he’s another lad who I had earmarked that I wanted to keep.
"My assistant Scott Irvine told me that while he was interim manager Reece stood out, led from the front and demanded the best from his fellow players which I love. The more players like that, the better the club is as a whole.”
Glendinning began his career at Linfield and went on to captain their reserve team.
In 2013 he made his first team debut for the Blues against Donegal Celtic.
After 58 appearances and three goals for Linfield, Glendinning made a loan switch to Ards in the 2017/18 season and finished the campaign successfully winning two Player of the Year awards.
After the conclusion of his Linfield contract his next move was to Ballymena United where he would make 23 appearances and net two goals across a two season spell before his arrival at the Loughshore Hotel Arena.
He has made 22 appearances for the Gers.
“I am delighted to be staying, having spoken to Stuart and hearing his plans for Carrick it was a no brainer.," Glendinning told the club website.
"After a tough year last year I’m excited to get back and hopefully push on this year.”
The news comes as Stuart King celebrates a few weeks of good business in the transfer market following the capture of some good talent including Steven Gordon and Alex Gawne.
