Coleraine sign defender released by McKenna’s Ipswich Town

Coleraine have signed former Northern Ireland youth international Cameron Stewart.

The 21-year-old defender was released by Ipswich Town last month just after he finished a loan spell at Scottish League One Cove Rangers. Stewart enjoyed a brief loan stint at Crusaders during the 2022/23 season.

Cameron, a childhood Coleraine fan, said: “My dad’s side of the family are all massive fans, so growing up we went to all the games, so it means a bit more to me now being a player.”

Head coach Dean Shiels said: “Cameron ticks all the boxes, we have a profile of player we are looking to try and recruit, he’s got really good potential having had lots of minutes at a good level in Scotland last year. We are expecting him to come in and really develop under the full time model and expecting big things from him.”

Former Larne defender Kofi Balmer, meanwhile, is set to join Motherwell. The Steelmen have agreed a fee with Crystal Palace to sign the defender.

The Well are set to see off interest from AFC Wimbledon, where the 23-year-old spent last season on loan. The player is expected to travel to Fir Park on Thursday for his medical and to complete his move.
