Portadown have added experienced midfielder Jordan Gibson to their squad ahead of their Irish Premiership opener against Glentoran on Saturday.

The 30-year-old has spent the past two seasons with Loughgall in the top flight after previous spells with Dollingstown, Lurgan Celtic, Carrick Rangers and Ballymena United.

He becomes the Niall Currie’s fifth summer addition after Jamie Rea, Alex Moore, Divin Isamala and Rayhaan Tulloch.

“Obviously everyone is well aware of me and Jordan’s history, he’s been a Premiership player from the moment I signed him for Carrick Rangers and was brilliant for me in my time there and went on to get signed by David Jeffery at Ballymena United, so he’s got great experience now at the highest level,” Currie told the club’s website.

“He’s 30 and coming into his prime years and his versatility is always great for any squad.

“We’re delighted to have the big man on board and his desire to come to our club was there for all us to see.”
