Coleraine have announced the signing of striker Curtis Allen on a permanent two-year contract.
 
The 32-year-old had been at The Showgrounds on loan from Glentoran since January during which he appeared as a substitute in the League Cup final win over Crusaders in February.
 
It does, of course, mark the beginning of his third spell with the club which, so far, has produced 44 goals from 93 appearances for the Bannsiders. His career has also taken him to Lisburn Distillery, Linfield and Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
 
Coleraine manager Oran Kearney was pleased to have Allen available for another couple of years.
 
"Obviously Curtis has already been here for six months but we are delighted that he has agreed a permanent switch," he told the official club website. 
 
"He is a proven goalscorer, he is in good shape and is hungry to kick on and make an impact. I have always had a good relationship with Curtis and I’m looking forward to continuing working with him."
