Daniel Kelly celebrates scoring one of his 38 goals for Carrick Rangers
Carrick Rangers midfielder Daniel Kelly has penned a new four-year contract with the Irish Premiership club.
The 27-year-old, who left Glentoran after just one season in 2018, has scored 38 goals in 196 appearances in his two spells at Carrick.
Kelly said: "When the club came to me about extending my contract it was just a case of "where do I sign?".
"Seeing the work that is going on behind the scenes makes it a really exciting time to be at the club."
Niall Currie's side finished an impressive eighth on their return to the top-flight this season.
"It's not by luck we achieved the position we did in the league this year," Kelly told the club website.
"Being a part of this progression and watching my hometown club develop is honour, I can't wait to see what the future holds."
Meanwhile defensive duo Chris Rodgers and Lee Chapman have extended their stay at the club for another season.
Chapman, 25, has been at the club since August 2016 apart from a short spell at Glentoran a couple of years ago, and has clocked up 121 appearances and 11 goals in that time.
Rodgers, 29, joined in August 2018 and has so far turned out 58 times for the Taylor's Avenue outfit, scoring three goals during his time at the club.
