It's been another busy window for Cliftonville, with plenty of incomings and some significant outgoings.

They have made eight signings, the best of which looks the capture of Championship goal machine Brian Healy, who could prove to be an exciting forward option if he can hit the ground running as he did with H&W Welders.

Bringing in the versatile Josh Kelly on loan from Glentoran looks another solid bit of business while Reds fans will hope Kyle McClelland and Aidan Kelly can attempt to fill the huge voids left by Odhran Caesey and Jack Keaney, who were arguably the Reds' two best performers this season before they moved on.

The Reds have offloaded Brandon Bermingham, who flattered to deceive in his eight appearances, back to Dungannon Swifts following the end of his loan, while injury curtailed Darien Wauchope's loan spell at Solitude as he made just three appearances.

Jim Magilton's side have also been dealt a blow with the impressive Thomas Lavery recalled from his temporary stay in north Belfast to return to Sunderland.

Lavery's departure, alongside the sale of Casey and Keaney's move to America have left the Reds weaker defensively and it has shown so far in their recent poor run.
