Gary Hamilton has appointed Mark Ferguson as his new Reserves team manager to replace Pete Batey. Mark, who has been coaching at Ridgeway Rovers Football Club from Castlereagh, was recommended to Gary by his ex-Glentoran teammate Andy Mathieson.

We caught up with Mark on Saturday after Glenavon’s pre-season game with the Everton U21’s.
