Three of the clubs academy prospects will spend the second half of the season at Dollingstown and Dundela respectively to accelerate their development through exposure to regular first-team football.
William Neill and Damien Traczykowski have both joined Dollingstown, while Rhys Adams heads to Dundela. The club believe these moves will give the trio valuable first team football experience and will monitor their progress at their respective clubs closely.
First Team Manager Niall Currie and Academy Manager Andrew Foley were in unison with both emphasising that exposure to competitive first-team action is a key step towards bridging the gap between academy football and NIFL Premiership Football.
All three are expected to return at the end of the season with enhanced experience and readiness to challenge for first-team places in 2026/27.
