New Ballyclare boss Stephen Small believes he is a better senior manager now than a decade ago when he led Carrick to the Championship title.
The former Cliftonville defender secured promotion to the top-flight for Carrick in 2011 but has not been involved in senior management for the 10 years since.
Small, who has completed a Masters in sports coaching and performance alongside a portfolio of experience in development football, was appointed as Comrades boss last month to replace Paul Harbinson at Dixon Park.
