Congratulations to Glentoran U21 player Conor Haughey who has signed a full-time professional contract with English League One side Fleetwood Town.
Conor first joined the Glens Academy as an eleven-year-old in 2018. His progress at the club was so rapid that at just 15 years, three months and eight days, he became the youngest ever player to feature for the Glentoran first-team when he came on as sub v Lisburn Distillery in the County Antrim Shield last December.
Conor is the younger brother of former Crusaders, Cliftonville and Larne winger, Marty Donnelly.
Glentoran Player Development Co-Ordinator Andy Mathieson said of Conor this afternoon: “Conor’s progression has been superb since he joined the club.
He has played in many different positions throughout his time here and adapted successfully to every one.
As well as being a big lad at over six feet. Conor is technically very good and for such a young player he always shows great awareness of what’s going on around him on the pitch. Hopefully he will keep improving as he gets older. I’m sure he will.
While we’re all sorry to see a great young player leave the club, we wish Conor nothing but the very best wishes.”
That goes for all of us Conor.
