Irish Move For Strike Veteran Novo
- Sport Careers client pens one year deal with Glentoran
- Rangers legend turned down offer from India
- 37 year-old determined to win more honours
Nacho Novo unveiled at Glentoran
Sport Careers client Nacho Novo has a new club- Northern Irish premiership outfit Glentoran.
Former Rangers icon Novo- most recently with the Carolina Railhawks in USA- links up with former Glens manager Alan Kernaghan, who on the Ibrox coaching staff during the Spaniard's trophy laden spell in Glasgow.
Attracting Novo to East Belfast is a major coup for Glens as the striker turned down lucrative offers form elsewhere, including India, in favour of the move. Manager Kernaghan told the club website of his delight at signing a player of Novo's experience:
"Nacho played at Rangers while I was a coach there. I've seen him play on many occasions and I have always admired his work ethic and professionalism both on and off the pitch.
"We need experience and leadership in the changing room and off the pitch and I'm confident Nacho's obvious enjoyment of being part of the team unit will be crucial in helping us push forward this season and to secure the progress we all want to see"
Novo himself is clearly enthusiastic about the move. The three time SPL winner spoke of being impressed by Gelntoran's history and stated his intent to add to his list of honours:
"There is a good history at this club. I never knew as much about history until I met the chairman.
"He has been great with me and to come in and see everything around the club I can see that there is a lot of history and I like that kind of thing.
"I still have the same feeling as when I signed for every club. I am excited and some people might be surprised by that, but that is my character and my personality.
"I am not here just to pass my time or to play out my last two years, I want to be a success and I want to do well.
I want to win things and I think this is a club that can challenge for all the trophies."

Comment Rules
Our rules are designed to ensure that this remains a place for intelligent discussion and debate, where posters can expect to be treated with respect, no matter their point of view.
As a rough rule of thumb, think of the comments as the online equivalent of a spirited social evening in the pub (lively, but not drunk) — passions can be stirred, but anyone engaging in abusive, intimidatory or bullying behaviour will be dealt with severely by the staff (that’s us, the moderators... bad behaviour will usually mean you lose "live" posting status).
And please don’t demand we explain/justify every decision: the popularity of our website means we don’t have time to engage in dialogue.
To borrow another metaphor: the ref’s decision is always final.
- Be relevant
Obviously your comment must relate to the article concerned, and to the inherent issue(s). Wherever possible, avoid cutting and pasting the same opinion repeatedly... that leads to dull threads. - Intelligent debate means just that
We won’t post comments that in our view aren’t adding to the debate. Criticism of public figures is acceptable as long as it can be deemed fair comment... but don’t resort to childish insults or unfair comparisons. - Keep it clean
Religious bigotry, sexism, homophobia, racism and references to disability of any kind won’t be tolerated. Comments using vulgar and abusive language won’t be posted. - Be nice...
Robust debate is encouraged, but personal attacks on individual posters and any personal squabbling between posters isn’t permitted. Don’t attempt to post personal information about other contributors. Material which we consider to be defamatory, inflammatory or offensive in any way is liable to be deleted. Threads may be closed at any time at the discretion of the moderators. - Sports fans — don’t flaunt your colours
We know that sports of all types stir deep feelings, but please don’t use the site to bait your rivals. Posts which are purely provocative or include club slogans will not be published. However, we don’t insist that individual threads are restricted to fans of the club(s) featured in the related articles. - Don’t shout or nitpick
Please don’t use CAPITAL LETTERS to try to make a point, as lots of readers find it the written equivalent of shouting. And don’t try to score cheap points off other posters by highlighting a spelling or grammar mistake (we all make them from time to time!) - Limit your links
Because we can’t check the content or technical robustness of other websites, you shouldn’t post live links. Official sites, such as those run by Governments or councils, are acceptable. In the same vein, please don’t introduce material wholesale from any other site into our threads... if you want to comment about that material, go to the other site instead. - Direct any complaints
Don’t attempt to use the forum to criticise our publications’ general editorial policies or individual journalists. We’ll always strive to protect our brands, and have a duty of care to our staff. If you have an issue you want to raise, or see something that you think needs correcting, please contact us - Moderation Process
Don’t try to post public comments about the moderating process — if you’ve a genuine query not covered by these rules, please contact us and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible. - No spam
Don’t post anything which is designed to promote your business or website, special offers or whatever. They won’t go live. Instead we’ll block you and hand your e-mail details to our advertising sales team.
