‘Steele should prove an able replacement for Deane’
Steele is expected to start in goal for Carrick when they entertain Dergview at Inver Park on Saturday morning.
“The loss of Gareth Deane is a big blow,” said Haveron. “He had played in every single game this season and the goalkeeping one was the one position that I never had to ponder about.

“On the plus side, however, Simon Steele is back with the club and he will prove an able replacement. Simon left and went to Ards because he wasn’t getting first-team opportunities but he had played the last 12 or 13 games last season and kept nine clean sheets.”
The Spirit of ‘76 Supporters’ Club will be running a bus to Saturday’s game. It’s set to leave Taylor’s Avenue at 2 pm. Cost: £5 per person.
