Portadown transfer window review
- Published
2024-25 league position: 8th
Manager: Niall Currie
Next five fixtures: Linfield (A) - 6 September; Coleraine (H) - 13 September; Bangor (H) - 20 September; Cliftonville (A) - 27 September; Glenavon (H) - 4 October
Just the six signings for Portadown this summer, but plenty of outgoings as Niall Currie looks to trim his squad.
The Ports have lost a great deal of experience with Ross Redman retiring and Dougie Wilson and Paul McElroy leaving for Loughgall, but have kept the impressive Ahu Obhakan and Josh Ukek.
The Shamrock Park outfit have also made some intriguing signings, including a couple of League of Ireland imports in winger Rayhaan Tulloch from Shelbourne and defender Divin Isamala from Bohemians.
Currie, as he does best, has also added players like Jordan Gibson, Aaron Wightman and Rhys Annett who will be keen to kickstart their stagnating careers.
Annett scored on his first start against Crusaders and the Ports will hope he can bring a regular supply of goals.
2025-26 signings so far: Jamie Rea (Loughgall), Alex Moore (Ards), Divin Isamala (Bohemians), Rayhaan Tulloch (Shelbourne), Jordan Gibson (Loughgall), Rhys Annett (Linfield - loan), Aaron Wightman (Glentoran - loan)
2025-26 departures so far: Ross Redman (retired), Jordan Williamson (Ballymacash Rangers), Dougie Wilson (Loughgall), Eoghan McCawl (unattached), Paul McElroy (Loughgall), Jake Willis (Ballymacash Rangers), Jamie McDonagh (unattached), Zach Cowan (Banbridge Town - loan), Joe McKay (Banbridge Town - loan)
