Jamie Glackin believes things are "only going to get better" at Coleraine as has underlined his desire to be part of of the club's new full-time journey by signing a new deal at the Showgrounds. Glackin is the latest member of the Coleraine squad to commit his future to the club as they move into an exciting new era.

Dean Shiels has taken over the reins as Head Coach at The Showgrounds with Oran Kearney becoming the club's first-ever Sporting Director. Getting players to buy into the project is a key aspect for Shiels and Kearney.
