- First Team Manager
Niall Currie
appointed October 2011

Former Ards player Niall arrived at Ards three months into the new season, replacing Justin McBride who had survived just 14 months in the job. The journeyman goalkeeper can boast of a long list of employers during his very successful Irish League career that included spells with Bangor and Glenavon.

His first move into management was with Second Division Annagh United in 2006, before moving on to Loughgall and winning five trophies in his first season, including the league title. A further championship followed before he left Lakeview Park after three and a half years. He was briefly involved in a coaching capacity with Comber Rec before agreeing to become the new Ards manager in October.
