ANTRIM forward Matthew Fitzpatrick will be available for the Saffrons next season.

There had been speculation that the St John’s clubman would miss the 2019 Division Four and Championship campaigns because he is studying in Liverpool but Antrim boss Lenny Harbinson is confident the talented forward will be part of his plans.

Definitely out of the picture is Ballymena’s Paddy McAleer who has relocated to the Middle East while Lamh Dhearg forward Conor Murray has been ruled out after he suffered a knee injury in last season’s Qualifiers.
