Ballymena United boss David Jeffrey has revealed that Andy McGrory turned down a number of other clubs to agree a contract extension at the Showgrounds.
The versatile right-back, who has made 123 appearances for the Sky Blues since joining the club from Glenavon in 2018, pet pen-to-paper on a new deal on Wednesday night.
McGrory was hampered by injury during the 2020/21 campaign, but enjoyed a strong end to last season and featured in last month’s Irish Cup final defeat to Crusaders.
