Well done to him he seems to have found his level back home, has he got any International caps?

Just a couple of full caps. He was released last summer by Bradford City with them having to cost cut. Being out of contract then was not ideal. Scored a hell of a lot of goals for us at youth level and has blinding pace.

Yes he's got a couple of NI caps to his name, as well as a string of appearances at various youth levels.

He's also enjoyed success in Gaelic football when he was younger, that I wasn't aware of.

Glad to see he's still plying his trade in the game, and Glentoran seem to be splashing the cash these days, they've also snapped up NI under-21 star Bobby Burns from Barrow.

Supported Glentoran 1967-69 when I lived in Belfast, saw them draw 1-1 with Benfica in European cup.
McCartan has had a good career, don’t rule out further progress

Excellent maybe he will make the switch back again
He always looked full of potential in our youth ranks
