Has Cliftonville's season finally turned a corner?

Cliftonville have enjoyed plenty of prolific forwards over recent years with record goalscorer Joe Gormley, Ryan Curran and Liam Boyce among those to have made their mark in north Belfast.

There were hopes that Brian Healy could become the latest name on that list following his January move from H&W Welders, but he struggled to find consistency in his early months at the club.

However, now, he has now scored four goals in his past two games has shown a confidence and composure that makes him an exciting prospect at the club.

Healy may have had his eyes on the match ball against Carrick after scoring once in each half, but he was substituted on the hour mark with Magilton saying it is key to keep the striker "hungry" ahead of a busy period for the Reds.

"We have a big game Tuesday [against Bangor in the ToalsBet Senior Shield], keep him hungry," Magilton told BBC Radio Ulster's Sportsound.

"During the tough spell there was a lot of criticism both from the outside and inside, but I have great faith in these lads, so it takes time to rebuild, and it takes time for players to settle at a club, particularly a club like ours.

"Brian [Healy] has always had that incredible knack and quality and it was just about giving him that confidence to go and do that and he is repaying that now and there is so much more to come from him."

For Cliftonville, having a confident and in-form Healy leading the line could prove hugely significant as they aim to climb the table.
