Annagh United Sign Veteran Irish League Star Ross Redman
Annagh United have made a significant signing in the transfer market, bringing in veteran Irish League defender Ross Redman as a player/coach. The 35-year-old joins the club after a successful spell at Shamrock Park, where he helped his boyhood club seal immediate promotion back to the Premiership after winning the Championship title. Redman has over 400 appearances to his name and is expected to bring vital experience to the dressing room.
What Happened?
Redman came through the ranks at Portadown before going on to enjoy spells with Glentoran and Ballymena United. He returned to Shamrock Park for a second spell in 2023, making 27 league appearances to help his boyhood club seal immediate promotion back to the Premiership after winning the Championship title.
Why It Matters for Annagh United
The signing of Redman is a significant boost for Annagh United, who have been involved in three top-flight promotion/relegation play-offs across recent years. The club has put together a 10-game unbeaten run at the start of this term, and Redman's experience is expected to play a key part in getting them over the line in their Premiership pursuit.
What Comes Next?
Annagh United will hope Redman's experience can help them achieve their goal of promotion to the Premiership. The club will face a tough test in their next fixture, away to Newry City AFC on September 18.
