Glentoran have signed midfielder Aaron McEneff from Shamrock Rovers for an undisclosed fee.

The 30-year-old was part of two Premier Division winning squads and enjoyed two FAI Cup triumphs during two spells at Shamrock Rovers.

McEneff also played for Derry City, scoring 25 goals in 102 appearances for the Candystripes.

The versatile midfielder's brother, Jordan, plays for Larne and has made 15 league appearances for the Irish Premiership leaders this season.

"For me, it feels like the perfect fresh start," McEneff said after the announcement.

"Once I spoke with Declan [Devine] and Paddy [McCourt] and heard about the standards they expect every day and where they believe this club is going, it was something I couldn't say no to.

"The Irish Premiership is a league that's going from strength to strength and it is one I'm really looking forward to competing in. This team has huge potential, but it only matters if you deliver. I've come here to win, nothing else. I can't wait to get in, meet everyone properly and get started."
