Moyola Park strengthen their pack as 'wonderful addition' makes the switch to Mill Meadow
Moyola Park have added significant experience to their squad with the arrival of a former Northern Ireland international.
The Castledawson-based side have secured the services of former Linfield, Coleraine and Ballymena United ace Josh Carson ahead of their return to the Championship this season.
Carson, who was recently on the books at Portadown after starting his career in England at Ipswich Town, earned three caps for Northern Ireland’s senior team.
However, he is now set to ply his trade at Mill Meadow as they prepare for life in the second-tier of the domestic game.
Speaking about his latest recruit, Moyola manager Marty Smith told the club’s social media platforms: “Josh will be a wonderful addition to the group.
"He brings a huge amount of experience and has won everything there is to win in Irish League football.
"We look forward welcoming Josh to the club and I’m confident he will be an asset moving forward.”
Antrim native Carson, who was also recently appointed as the manager of Ballymena-based Ballee, says he is excited by his latest challenge.
"I am really forward to getting started with the club, I’ve seen a lot and heard a lot throughout the last few years and the club have went from strength to strength.
"I know Marty and the backroom staff and speaking with them about the club’s ambitions and goals moving forward, it’s a challenge I am relishing and I’m really excited for the task ahead.”
Carson joins Callum McCay, Odhran McCart, Cead McGrath (loan), Brendan Hamilton, Charlie Campbell, Jack Berry, Aidan Tejada and Jonathan Doyle as new arrivals at the Premier Intermediate League champions.
