The 20-year centre-back played nine games for our development squad side
last campaign and captained on four occasions. He has been a regular
Northern Ireland youth international over the years, most recently playing
European Under-21 championship qualifiers, although he has made one senior
appearance, as a late substitute against Ukraine last summer.
McClelland first played for our Academy in 2018 having joined from
Coleraine.
His new loan club Barrow returned to the Football League in 2020 and
finished 22nd last season.
