Mick McDermott has played down speculation linking Glentoran with a move for former Linfield star Joel Cooper who is returning to Northern Ireland after opting to leave Oxford United.
Cooper, who will be a free agent in the summer, joined the League One club on a three-year deal in 2020 but struggled to settle for personal reasons and has left the Us by mutual consent.
The 26-year-old, who was voted Northern Ireland Footballer of the Year prior to his move to England two years ago, scored twice in just 12 appearances for Oxford.
