Kris Lindsay moved from Portadown to Larne last July

It is thought that Lindsay is set to sign a two-year deal with the Windsor Park club after also holding talks with Glentoran, Portadown and Ballymena Utd.

The Ports had looked favourites to snap up their former player who left Shamrock Park to join Larne in a bid to secure regular first team football.

Another Larne player, Mark Dickson is also likely to move to the champions.

Lindsay was captain of the Inver Park club last season.

Blues boss David Jeffrey has also added Timmy Adamson and Mark McGinnis to his squad since the end of the season.
