Hale has tasted the joy of success in with the club in the 2022 decider with Coleraine, but also experienced the disappointment of losing his first final with Crusaders in 2020.

The 35-year-old has the chance to win his fifth League Cup medal on Sunday when Cliftonville take on Glentoran at Windsor Park. His first came two years into his first spell at the club and Gormley credits the late Tommy Breslin for the success he has tasted at Solitude. “I would rather win one trophy with Cliftonville than 10 with someone else,” Gormley admits.
