Oran Kearney hails Ian Parkhill's versatility as he agrees new deal

The Ballymoney man has agreed a new two-year deal with the Bannsiders.

Boss Oran Kearney pointed to Parkhill's versatility as a key part in his desire to keep him at the club.

"Parky has played a major role in our recent success," he told the club website.

"Whilst we don't have a massive squad in terms of numbers, we have a great squad in terms of depth and quality, which Ian is a part of.

"He is rarely injured, he can play different roles and his versatility is worth its weight in gold.

"He is in good shape, is as fit as a fiddle and the new contract is great for him as he doesn't want to play football anywhere else."
