Glentoran have made their second signing of the week with the arrival of Aidan Wilson from Crusaders.

The 23-year-old arrives in east Belfast after spending two years at Seaview, making in excess of 60 appearances and scoring five goals. He also won an Irish Cup winners' medal at the beginning of May.

A former Scottish youth international, the defender represented his country at U16 to U19 level, and also made a few appearances for Rangers in addition to loan spells with Edinburgh City, Forfar Athletic and Dumbarton.

Oval boss Mick McDermott said of his latest acquisition: "Aidan has performed well in the Irish League the past two seasons and comes with great pedigree having spent his younger years with Rangers. He is a talented and versatile defender who is comfortable in any of the positions along the backline.

"He is a dedicated professional and having met him I was impressed with his aspirations for his career. He had options and we are happy that he has decided to join our club. We know that he will immediately fit into our full-time environment at Glentoran FC."
