Carrick Rangers have lost Ryan Waide to Glenavon, with the winger agreeing a switch from the Northern Ireland Premiership club. Manager Michael O'Connor feels Waide is 'coming into the peak of his career' after the former Linfield player joined the Lurgan Blues. Waide started his senior career with Linfield and enjoyed loan spells at Ards, Carrick Rangers, and Dungannon Swifts during his time on the books at Windsor Park before leaving for Ballymena United in 2020. The former Northern Ireland U21 international scored 18 goals across his 140 appearances in all competitions for the Sky Blues. Waide's move to Glenavon is a significant blow to Carrick Rangers, who will need to regroup and find a replacement for the talented winger. The transfer is a significant coup for Glenavon, who will be hoping to benefit from Waide's experience and skill on the pitch.
