Robbie Weir: I’m thrilled to continue my journey with Crusaders after signing new deal
Robbie Weir joined Crusaders in January 2021
Crusaders favourite Robbie Weir says he’s thrilled to agree fresh terms at the club and is targeting success in a new era with Declan Caddell in charge.
The former Sunderland man joined the club in January 2021 and his consistent performances helped the north Belfast side book another European adventure with that Play-Off Final win over Coleraine.
“I’m thrilled to continue my journey with Crusaders Football Club,” said the defensive midfielder.
“The club has become like family to me, and I am excited about the future and the opportunities that lie ahead. Together, we aim to achieve even greater success and make our supporters proud.”
Caddell, who will take charge after Stephen Baxter oversees the European games, is delighted to retain the services of the versatile Weir.
“Robbie is an exceptional player whose dedication and commitment to the club are exemplary,” said Caddell who is gearing up for his first senior managerial role.
“His extension not only strengthens our team but also reflects our ambition to compete at the highest level. We look forward to seeing him continue to excel in the Crusaders jersey.”
