Stewart leaves Reds to join Sligo Rovers

Defender Sean Stewart has left Cliftonville to join League of Ireland side Sligo Rovers. The 22-year-old signed permanently for the Reds in the summer of 2024 from Norwich City after spending the 2023-24 season at Solitude. He made 48 appearances for Jim Magilton's side and started in the Irish Cup win against Linfield in 2024. Stewart has signed an 18-month deal with Sligo, who are ninth in the Premier Division. The full-back credited the influence of Sligo boss John Russell for persuading him to join. "John had been chasing me for a while and once I knew the clubs were happy to come to a deal and I spoke to him, I wanted to come here straight away," Stewart told the club's website. "He is hugely ambitious for the club's future and I want to be part of that. "Sligo is one of those clubs that realises the importance of giving younger players an opportunity. You only have to look at the average age of the current squad. The manager puts trust in his players; a young squad and it's paid off the last few weeks."
