Cliftonville FC has announced the signing of winger Ben Quinn, who joins the club after spending time with Portadown in the Irish League last season. Quinn, nephew of Republic of Ireland internationals Alan Quinn and Stephen Quinn, has previously played for Cherry Orchard, St Patrick’s Athletic, Celtic, and Mansfield Town. The Reds have also added Conor Pepper to manager Jim Magilton's senior backroom staff as a first-team coach. Pepper, who has made close to 100 appearances for Cliftonville FC, will provide a valuable link between the first team and the Academy. He has medals from Irish Cup and BetMcLean Cup wins in Cliftonville colours and helped lead the under 18s to Academy League title joy last season. Quinn may be known to some Cliftonville fans, having scored on his first and final appearances for Portadown. The signing of Quinn and the new role for Pepper are expected to boost Cliftonville FC's chances in the Northern Ireland Premiership. With these moves, manager Jim Magilton is shaping his team for the upcoming season. The addition of Quinn's skills and Pepper's experience will be crucial in the club's pursuit of success. Cliftonville FC is gearing up for a strong season, and these developments are generating excitement among the fans. The club's Academy has been performing well, and Pepper's involvement will help to develop young talent. As the season approaches, Cliftonville FC is looking to make a significant impact in the Northern Ireland Premiership.
