'He is from a good pedigree. And he is only 18...'
The 18-year-old full-back has progressed through the underage ranks at the Oval club's academy and also spent the second half of last season with Dundela.
Russell made his senior Glentoran debut back in September 2022 and has gone on to make five first-team appearances.Three have come this season, with the teenager featuring in games against Larne, Loughgall and Ballymena United. New Glens boss Feeney has been impressed by Russell's performances and temperament. And he believes the youngster has all the attributes to one day don the captain's armband on Mersey Street."He went on loan to Dundela and learnt his trade. And loads of people came in for him."He travels up every day from Larne and I've said he will be a Glentoran captain in the future, and I stand by that.
Feeney has had to work around an extended injury list during the early weeks of the season, with players including Wilson, Kane, Rhys Marshall, Rory Donnelly, Bobby Burns and Seanan Clucas all spending time in the treatment room."Crusaders will be a real test. I think they are a fantastic side," Feeney said."It will be a good game for the neutrals, but not for me and Stephen . Hopefully we have some players back.
"They might need a game before to make sure they are okay. And fingers crossed we have one or two in before the end of the window, it is looking very good.Sign up to our free sports newsletter to get the latest headlines to your inbox
