Northern Ireland international Conor McMenamin has returned to the Irish Premiership, joining Coleraine from St Mirren on a long-term deal after a permanent transfer was agreed.
The 30-year-old signed for the Scottish side from Glentoran in 2023 and started in the League Cup final win over Celtic last season.
McMenamin won the last of his 14 NI caps in June 2024, with his sole international goal to date came in a Euro 2024 qualifier against San Marino.
He also has had previous stints in the Irish League with Linfield, Warrenpoint Town and Cliftonville.
He excelled in his two-and-a-half year spell at the Glens, netting 33 goals in 66 appearances to earn his move across the water.
His arrival strengthens a Coleraine side that won the Irish Cup and finished second in the Premiership under Ruaidhri Higgins last season and will look to win a first Gibson Cup since 1974 in the upcoming campaign.
“It’s a really, really exciting signing for the football club,” said Coleraine manager Higgins.
“He will play in a system with us where we feel we will get him into good areas of the pitch and he can show his true talent.
“When his name came up in conversation, you might think about what his hunger might be like coming home, but when I spoke to him, he’s a true professional and he’s desperate for success.
“He made it very clear that he wants to help us win things and we’re now in a position that we have to win, and he’s excited by that.”
He becomes the Bannsiders’ second summer signing, following the recent arrival of Ben Doherty from Derry City.
