Stephen Lowry may be taking his first steps towards a coaching career, but he isn't hanging his boots up just yet.
The 36-year-old has penned a new one-year deal with Coleraine, which will see him involved with Oran Kearney's coaching set-up at The Showgrounds as well as continuing to play.
It is a natural progression for Lowry who wants to stay in the game when he eventually calls time on his playing career.
