Matthew Tipton has led Warrenpoint Town and Portadown to promotion from the Championship and he is aiming to make it a hat-trick for Ards.
The former striker replaced John Bailie in the dugout last month and midfielder Gary Donnelly has explained how his first message to the players was that they would be aiming for promotion.
Ards undoubtedly have one of the most talented squads in the division but went on a horror run of just three wins in 17 matches earlier this campaign – seeing them plummet from league leaders down into sixth position.
