Owners unveils ambitious plans at the Showgrounds

Coleraine Football Club is thrilled to announce a transformative new chapter as Henry Ross becomes the club’s majority owner, following a significant investment.

Previously a minority shareholder, Henry has now made a substantial additional commitment to the club, driven by his ambition to establish Coleraine FC as the biggest club in the Irish League while strengthening its deep connection to the local community.

With this investment, Henry has reaffirmed his vision to elevate Coleraine FC to unprecedented heights, ensuring it becomes a beacon of pride and inspiration for fans and supporters across the region.

“While staying true to our values, my ambition is to establish Coleraine FC as the leading club in the Irish League and a pioneer in both on-pitch performance and community engagement," said Henry.

"We want to inspire not only our loyal supporters but also the entire region by creating opportunities and setting standards that reflect the vibrancy and potential of the Causeway Coast and Glens. Together, we will achieve greatness that resonates far beyond the pitch.”

Henry also took the opportunity to recognise the instrumental roles of Patrick Mitchell and Ranald McGregor-Smith in laying the foundation for the club’s recent success.

Their leadership and vision during the initial takeover in February 2024 were pivotal in positioning Coleraine FC for this next phase of growth. Both Patrick and Ranald will continue to play active roles within the club as material shareholders and directors, ensuring that the vision they helped create is fully realised.

Coleraine FC CEO Simon Magee welcomed the announcement, commenting: “Henry’s ambitious vision for Coleraine FC, combined with Patrick and Ranald’s continued contributions and our current board, creates an incredibly strong leadership team.

"Their shared passion for this club and the wider community will drive Coleraine FC forward. From building a competitive squad to investing in world-class facilities that will benefit the entire region, their leadership promises to take the club to new heights.

"This is an incredibly exciting time for everyone associated with Coleraine FC," he added.
