Has he watched Carrick play yet? Smith has been keeping an eye on Carrick's opening games this season, and will travel to Northern Ireland this week to watch Stuart King's team live for the first time against Linfield at Windsor Park on Saturday afternoon. "I want the Club to be one of the greatest assets of Carrickfergus and the County but we can only do that with the support of the community. We need more fans in the stands, we need more volunteers in all aspects of the Club but particularly our community engagement, more youth in the academy, and certainly the continued tremendous support of the local council. This is how we create a virtuous circle.
Carrick Chairman Peter Clarke: “I am delighted to welcome Michael to Carrick Rangers, he is a gentleman who has worked in an executive role in many of the top companies in the world for over thirty years. His business acumen is second to none and his credentials speak for themselves. “I thought our long term goals would have taken a couple more years to achieve but having met with Michael around six months ago and after many conversations it was clear that his goals and aspirations were very much aligned to ours.
