Larne has recently seen the departure of defender Ryan Nolan, who has signed a two-year deal with Linfield following the expiration of his contract at the club. Nolan, who joined Larne in September 2024, made 48 appearances and played a crucial role in helping the club secure the Gibson Cup during the 2025-26 season. His experience and leadership qualities have made him a valuable asset on the pitch. Linfield's manager, David Healy, expressed admiration for Nolan, highlighting his extensive experience across various leagues and countries. This transfer marks a significant move for both Nolan and Linfield as they aim to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season. Meanwhile, Larne will be looking to fill the gap left by Nolan as they prepare for future challenges in the Irish Premiership.
