Glentoran owner Ali Shams Pour has spoken this afternoon to www.glentoran.com about Conor McMenamin’s transfer to St Mirren:
“Personally, I am absolutely delighted for Conor as he embarks on his journey to play in the Scottish Premier League, competing against world renowned giants like Rangers and Celtic.
"As we concluded the settlement yesterday, I felt a great sense of pride, knowing that a player we brought in a few years ago has not only secured a move across the water but has also established himself on the international stage. This marks my first active involvement in a player transfer, and throughout the past few weeks Paul Millar and I have been in contact several times a day. At the conclusion of our efforts I firmly believe that the deal we have settled upon is the absolute best for Glentoran FC.
"While Conor's absence will be felt, he will depart with the sincerest well-wishes from everyone at Glentoran FC."
