Larne have been handed a major boost ahead of their defence of the Gibson Cup as star striker Lee Bonis has signed a new long-term deal with the club.
The striker had been linked with a move away from Inver Park since last season ended but has committed his future to inver Park penning a three-year deal.
Bonis was called into the Northern Ireland squad for the Euro 2024 qualifiers against Denmark and Kazakhstan last month.

Blackpool, Birmingham, Wigan Derby and Portsmouth were all reportedly interested in the former Portadown frontman.
A move was not forthcoming however, and only last week Larne boss Tiernan Lynch said the club and Bonis were "getting on with business".
"(There's been) nothing official," he said in terms of a bid for the player.
"We are probably a bit like yourselves and listening to all the rumours and speculation but that's really all it is.
"Lee knows where this is at the minute as there's no official offers or no official approaches.
"Our job and Lee's job is to get on with the business ahead."
Bonis follows fellow striker Andy Ryan in signing a new long-term deal at Inver Park.
Larne travel to Finland this week to take on HJK Helsinki in the first leg of their Champions League first round qualifier.
