Portadown Football Club is pleased to announce the signing of Baris Altintop from Larne in a loan deal until January 2025.
Baris, 23, arrives at Shamrock Park having captained Braintree to promotion to the National League last season, as well as being named in the National League South team of the season before joining Larne in July.
Beginning his career at Bury Town, Baris has also had spells at King’s Lynn and Dartford.
We welcome Baris to the club and also wish to place on record our thanks to Larne for their professionalism and co-operation in relation to this loan deal.
Portadown manager Niall Currie added
We’re delighted to get Baris on board.
This one came completely out of the blue, a massive thank you to Gerry Flynn and Tiernan Lynch at Larne. It was a situation which evolved and they’ve been fantastic in our dealings in regards to loaning us Baris for this period of time.
His pedigree is fantastic, captaining and leading Braintree to promotion last season so the opportunity to add him to our squad was too good to turn down.
In regards to Jack Duncan, he’s going to Dundela to get Irish League experience while Baris comes to us for the same thing which we get the benefits of and it works for everyone involved.
Baris is young, big, athletic and a big talker so we’re excited to see him in a Portadown shirt.
