Stuart King, the manager of Carrick Rangers, is determined to lead his team to their best-ever finish in the upcoming Irish league campaign. With a pre-season trip to the United States under their belt, Carrick Rangers are aiming high as they face Glenavon in their opening match.
Following the takeover by American owners last year, the expectations for Carrick Rangers have soared, with hopes of breaking into the top four of the league. King’s experience in the US has taught him the importance of small margins and continuous improvement in all aspects of the game.
In addition to their strategic approach, King has made some key signings in the transfer market, including the return of Paul Heatley from retirement. The club has also brought in experienced players like Luke McCullough and Seanan Clucas to strengthen the squad.
Looking ahead to the match against Glenavon, King acknowledges the quality of their opponents and the challenge they will pose. Despite their previous losses to Glenavon, King is focused on adapting their tactics to secure a victory this time around.
As the season kicks off, Carrick Rangers are poised to make a strong start and build on their progress from the previous year. With a combination of strategic planning, talented signings, and a determined mindset, King and his team are ready to chase their American dream and achieve success in the Sports Direct Premiership.
