Glenavon's 2024-25 season in review

Paddy McLaughlinInpho

2024-25 league position: 10th

Player of the year: Barney McKeown

The appointment of Paddy McLaughlin in November helped to steady the ship at Glenavon after a disappointing start to the season had them languishing close to relegation.

Under Stephen McDonnell, the Lurgan Blues went seven games without a win in all competitions and slipped to 11th in the table, four points off safety before he was relieved of his duties.

Whilst McLaughlin could only help them to finish one place higher, they were 14 points better off than Carrick Rangers below them.

The aim will be to build upon a solid foundation in which the Lurgan Blues became harder to beat and start challenging for seventh again.

Glenavon have already been busy in the transfer market, bringing in the experienced Kris Lowe from Cliftonville and youngsters Jordan McMullan and Oran O'Kane.

2025-26 gs so far: Kris Lowe (Cliftonville), Jordan McMullan (Ballymena United), Oran O'Kane (H&W Welders), Luke Cartwright (Loughgall)

2025-26 departures so far: Mark Haughey (unattached), Harry Murphy (Glentoran, end of loan), Harry Norton (Loughgall), Aaron Prendergast (Loughgall, loan), Rhys Marshall (retired)
