Glentoran sign ‘direct and dynamic’ winger Pattisson

Must read

Glentoran have announced the signing of winger Christie Pattisson from Waterford on an 18-month contract.

Pattisson grabbed four goals and two assists for League of Ireland side Waterford last season.

Before joining Waterford, the 27-year-old played for Maidstone United, Welling United and Braintree Town.

“Having watched him closely at Waterford last season, I was impressed by his direct and dynamic style of play, his versatility on both wings and his tireless work ethic,” said Glentoran manager Declan Devine.

“He’s already trained with the team and demonstrated his determination to make an immediate impact.”

Pattisson said the move to the Irish Premiership “immediately appealed to me”.

“Once I visited the club, met the players and heard Declan’s vision for Glentoran – particularly how he sees me contributing to the team – I knew this was the right move for me.

“Declan’s style of play, along with the hunger, fight, and ambition I’ve seen from this squad, has made a strong impression on me.”

Pattisson will join former Derry City duo Ciaron Coll and Shane McEleny in moving to the Oval when the transfer window opens on 1 January.
