Mr Beattie said: “In this time of COVID 19 restrictions with very little to cheer about it is great to see Portadown FC being promoted having won the League Championship and will now play in the Premiership next season.

“This is an outstanding result for the players, the manager and for the faithful fans who stuck by the team through thick and thin. It shows a sense of stoicism, belief and ambition that will see the team back in the top flight of NI Football.

“I wish them all well for next season.”
