Carlisle replaces Malomo-Paris as Larne women's coach

Daniel Carlisle has been appointed manager of Larne Women just hours after Donald Malomo-Paris departed the role to become boss of Lisburn Ladies.

Carlisle joins Larne after managing PSNI in the Premier Intermediate League while he was also assistant manager at Moyola Park.

He worked in a coaching education capacity at Linfield Girls Academy and later became the Girls Academy director at Ballymena United after starting his coaching career at Larne's girl's academy.

"I'm absolutely delighted to be back at Inver Park, can't wait to get started, meet all of the team and meet everyone around the club again.

"As soon as I walked in the door, the transformation the club has been unbelievable. Its and exciting times for the club and myself."

Meanwhile, Malomo-Paris takes over at Lisburn Ladies from Phil Lewis, who left the post earlier this week.

Larne finished eighth in the Women's Premiership table last season, with Lisburn Ladies one place better off in seventh.

Lisburn Ladies club chairman Hayden Davis commented: "We drew up a shortlist of candidates once Phil had informed me he was stepping down.

"Donald was our number one target on the list and I am delighted to have been able to get him on board.

"Donald is a Pro Licence Coach which we know will not only benefit the senior squad players but the club as a whole."

Larne Women's Football Director Andrew Scullion paid tribute to the contribution made by Malomo-Paris during his two seasons with the club.

"Donald led us in our first season in the Premiership so he will always be an important part of our club's history," said Scullion.

Also leaving the east Antrim outfit is long-serving William Noble, who steps down from his role after two decades of dedicated commitment to the club.

Noble has occupied the positions of coach, manager and head of recruitment.
