No return for Stirling
Darren Stirling

Darren Stirling will not be returning to Ards next season, with the striker opting to seek a new club this summer.

The front-man brings to an end three years with the club that began in summer 2007 when he transferred from HW Welders. He was Ards' top goal-scorer in his first season with 19 goals but this year returned just nine.

The former Crusaders player found first team appearances limited in the second half of the season, hence his decision to move on. Darren played 95 times for Ards and scored 41 goals.

Gary Wray

Another player who will not return next season is Gary Wray. The experienced defender was merely a bit-part player in the last campaign due to periods of injury and unavailability.

It was Gary's third spell with club, having first turned out in red and blue in August 2005. He made 50 appearances.
