Coleraine striker Cathair Friel joins Institute in loan deal

Coleraine have announced that striker Cathair Friel is heading out on loan.

The 29-year-old has joined Institute for the first half of the season, with Oran Kearney believing the temporary switch will 'suit all parties'.

Friel joined Coleraine last summer and was loaned out to Dungannon Swifts back in January. In total he has scored six goals in 23 appearances since joining the Bannsiders.

Kearney told Coleraine's website: “To be fair to Cathair, he has made super progress over the last couple of months.

“He has lost a considerable amount of weight and is getting into a shape that we remember a few years ago.

“He has missed a lot of football so to get him back to 100% he needs to get a run of games.

“This move will certainly help with that, it’s a deal that works for everybody and it gives him a fighting chance when he returns at the start of the New Year.”
