David Jeffrey has stepped down as Ballymena United manager - after seven years in charge.

His last game at the helm was at Windsor Park on Sunday when the Sky Blues lost 4-0 to Crusaders in the Irish Cup final.

Jeffrey, one of the most successful managers in the local game, especially during his 17-year stint at Linfield, joined Ballymena in 2016.

Before that, he had an equally successful playing career, which started at Manchester United before a long spell at the Blues.

In a statement, the club said he had left the club "by mutual consent."
