Leroy Millar will sign for Larne following the conclusion of his contract with Ballymena United.

The 26-year-old central midfielder arrives at Inver Park following a career with the Sky Blues that produced in excess of 200 appearances, the last of which came in the Irish Cup final defeat to Crusaders at the beginning of May.

Larne manager Tiernan Lynch told the official club website: "We are absolutely delighted to bring Leroy to the club. He has been a huge driving force over the last number of years and everyone saw at the Irish Cup final what he is capable of.

“He helps bring another dimension to the team and the squad and we are delighted to know he will be a Larne player next season.”

Millar said: "I’m delighted to be here and now I just can’t wait to get in and meet the boys. I’m at a wonderful club and I can’t wait to get out and play in front of the fans and hopefully make them happy.

"The professionalism in and around the club is really noticeable and the change from four or five years ago to now is massive. It’s not just on the pitch, but off the pitch as well and hopefully I can come and help to push things on even further.

"Larne are the club who is furthest down the line with the professional approach and they are learning all the time and I think that stands them in good stead. The chance to play professional football is massive for me and I can’t wait to get started and give everything for the club."
