Larne sign Newcastle United player Isaac Westendorf
NIFL Premiership side Larne have announced the signing of Isaac Westendorf from Newcastle United.
The 22 year old makes the move to Northern Ireland after 18 months at Newcastle and he arrives in time for Larne’s Champions League debut.
“It feels great to be here and I’m delighted to have got everything sorted and signed,” Westendorf said, speaking to the club’s website.
“I had a good time at Newcastle, gaining a lot of experience training with the first team and I want to push myself now in men’s football, so that’s a big thing for me.
“Everyone dreams of playing in the Champions League. It’s a big thing for the club and I’m delighted to be a big part of it against Helsinki.
“I had offers from elsewhere, but the offer was there to come here and have a look and I’m glad I did because I knew I wanted to be a part of it.”
Larne travel to Finland to take on HJK Helsinki on Wednesday, 12 July.
