Limavady United have announced the appointment of Paul Owens as their new manager.

The 40-year-old makes his return to The Showgrounds following the departure of Andrew Law earlier this month and finds the Roesiders in sixth spot in the Lough 41 Premier Intermediate League.

This will be his second stint on the Rathmore Road having previously spent a successful three-and-half-year spell at the club in a successful player/manager role before becoming part of the backroom staff at Coleraine four seasons ago.

During his initial tenure with Limavady he helped them to the NIFL Premier Intermediate League, IFA Intermediate Cup and Craig Memorial Cup treble in a memorable 2016/17 campaign.

Owens' first game back in charge comes this weekend when they host Bangor in an Irish Cup fourth round tie.
