Glens continue clearout by releasing five more players

Neal Gawley is among the players released by Glentoran

Glentoran's clearout has continued with the club releasing James Taylor, Grant Gardiner, Neal Gawley, Johnny Black and Peter Steele.

On Tuesday, the club announced that club captain Paul Leeman had been released as a cost-cutting measure.

The club said that the introduction of the salary cap next season had forced it to release Leeman.

Colin Nixon, Jason Hill and Jamie McGovern have all agreed one-year contract extensions with the club.
