City Land Cillian Sheridan - By Steven Mew

Brechin City FC is thrilled to announce the signing of former Celtic striker Cillian Sheridan, who is joining the club’s ambitious mission to gain promotion back into the SPFL.

Sheridan, known for his extensive career across Europe and beyond, brings a wealth of experience having played for clubs in Scotland, England, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Poland, Israel, and New Zealand.

At 35 years of age, the former Republic of Ireland international has over 400 appearances and 100 goals to his name, showcasing his goal-scoring prowess and versatility.

His career highlights include stints at Celtic, where he won the Scottish Premier League and Scottish Cup and helping APOEL to a domestic double in both of his two seasons there, where he also competed in the Champions League.

Sheridan’s arrival marks a significant boost for Brechin City as they continue their push for promotion and silverware.

Manager Patrick Cregg expressed enthusiasm about the signing. He said, “We're delighted to get Cillian in. He has experience at the highest levels of football, coupled with his professionalism and leadership, will be invaluable both on and off the pitch.

"He’s hungry to do well for the Club and is exactly the type of player who embodies our vision. He will be great addition to our group and will help the young players as well with his experience - we are looking forward to working with him."


Sheridan, known for his charismatic personality and social media presence, said
“I’m excited to join Brechin City and play a part in their ambitious journey. The club’s vision and drive resonate with me, and I can’t wait to contribute to the team’s success.”

Sheridan is expected to make his debut in the coming weeks as City look to maintain their strong league form and prepare for key fixtures ahead.
