All eyes will be on how Portadown fare next season with David Jeffrey at the helm, after a solid 2025-26 campaign.

Under Niall Currie, the side registered some impressive wins including beating champions Larne 2-1 and Linfield 2-0 at Windsor Park.

A frustration will be the number of goals that the side scored as they managed to find the net just 44 times, which is less than the clubs around them.

Since the announcement that 61-year-old Jeffrey will take over as manager, there has been a sense of excitement around the club with captain Gary Thompson highlighting this in his final interview as interim boss.

"A legend of the local game, everyone knows what David Jeffrey is about; winning football games first and foremost," Thompson said.

"It is a big signing for Portadown and I have no doubt he will push the club on."
