The former Ballymena United man has become a mainstay at the heart of the Larne defence following their impressive return to the top flight.

“Last year we did so well, barring a few results and I felt we would have kicked on if those last seven games could have been played," he told the club website.

“I want to win something and achieve something with Larne and I know we are very close. Maybe a couple of more pieces of the jigsaw will see us right up there.

“You want to be playing every week and that’s up to me to make sure I do extra bits and pieces to keep myself in tiptop condition, which I have always done throughout my career.

“Once we get the chance to train again we will be back working hard and hopefully we get a date when the new season will begin because we’re all massively looking forward to it.”

Boss Tiernan Lynch is delighted to keep the experienced defender at Inver Park.

“Albert showed all of his experience and leadership skills last season and was a big part of the spine of our team,” he said.

“We are delighted to keep him at Inver Park and feel he will be a big part of what we hoping to do over the next year.”
