Marty Hunter joins up with Larne manager Paul Curran

The ex-Ards and Glentoran player has moved in a player-exchange deal with striker Colm Kearney going in the opposite direction to Glenavon.

Curran had been on the trail of Hunter for some weeks while Glenavon manager Colin Malone said Kearney would give his side much-needed muscle up front.

Kearney scored seven goals for Larne last season but his appearances were restricted by suspension and injuries.
