Albert Watson says his admiration for the job Stuart King has done at Carrick Rangers was key in him signing for the club.
The defender signs on at the Loughview Leisure Arena after four successful season with East Antrim neighbours Larne, where he signed off last month after helping the club win the Irish Premiership title.
Watson, who will take up a new full-time role as head coach of the Invermen's Under-16 side, was keen to keep on playing, and he is excited by the challenge of helping Carrick continue their upward trajectory under King.
