Patrick McClean has announced his immediate retirement from football at the age of 26.
The Glentoran defender said it was a decision he had been "thinking about for a while" in a social media post calling time on his career on Sunday evening.
McClean, who also played for his hometown club Derry City as well as Sligo Rovers and Waterford, joined the Glens in July 2019 and signed a new long-term contract with the club in June last year.
