Cliftonville FC is excited to announce that four talented Academy players have signed their first professional contracts with the club. Paul Stanfield, Alfie Anderson, David Green, and Sean Cassidy have all committed to two-year deals at Solitude, celebrated in the presence of their proud parents.

David Green showcased his skills in the 2-1 victory over Linfield on the final day of the 2025/26 League programme. Sean Cassidy has made a significant impact in the Academy and is now ready to join his teammates in the next phase of their development at Ireland's Oldest Football Club. The club looks forward to seeing these young talents grow and contribute to Cliftonville FC's future success.
