And the well known coach, who was born and raised in Coleraine, admits that he's already getting stick about his new post with Coleraine's derby rivals, Ballymena United.

"I was born and raised in the Crescent in Coleraine, just minutes away from Coleraine Showgrounds, so to be taking on a key role at Ballymena seems a bit strange.

"My brother's already calling me a 'dipper', joked Wesley.

Wesley, who works for the IFA, as a Grassroots Development Officer, says he was delighted to be offered the role at the Showgrounds. "I work in Ballymena in conjunction with the Council, so it seems like perfect sense now to be involved with Ballymena United.

"I was forced to give up my role at Institute due to work commitments, and I can't praise 'Stute' enough as a Club, I was very sorry to leave them."

Wesley has already started his role with Ballymena, and he says he's been impressed by the Club.

"When I gave a presentation as part of my Pro Licence, I based it on the concept - 1 Club, 1 Community, and that's exactly the thinking behind Ballymena United. They are a very progressive club, and I am only glad to be part of that jigsaw.

"Roy is a fantastic manager who has given me a free reign with the coaching side of things, and I am raring to go."
