GLENAVON SIGNS YOUNG LEFT-BACK

Glenavon has signed left back Len O’Sullivan. Although only 20 years old, he has made over 60 senior appearances for Wexford and Bray Wanderers. He has just returned to Ireland after an extended spell training with Crystal Palace.

“I am delighted that we have been able to add Len to the squad,” said Stephen McDonnell. “I saw him play for Wexford two years ago and was impressed. He is now a little older and more experienced. I think he will add real quality to the team.”

O’Sullivan, a native of Rush, County Meath, started his career with Bohemians. He hopes to eventually play on the mainland. “He is strong, aggressive, quick and good in possession,” Stephen continued. “He is not unlike David Toure in playing style. I think he has enormous potential.”

Len has signed an 18-month contract.
