Loughgall have agreed a new two-year contract extension with manager Dean Smith ahead of the new Championship campaign kicking off on Saturday.
Smith initially arrived at Lakeview Park on an interim basis in November 2016 following the resignation of Steven Hawe.
He cut his managerial teeth at near neighbours Annagh United before making the switch to the Villagers.
Since then he has guided to club to their best league finish in a decade and brought silverware in the form of a Mid Ulster Cup final win over Glenavon.
