Crusaders Football Club are delighted to confirm that Declan Caddell will take over as manager after Stephen Baxter steps down.
Caddell who joined Crusaders 21 years ago as a 15 year old, came through the club's youth system and was a key player during Stephen Baxter's amazing era at the club.
During his time as a player, Caddell won 3 league titles, 4 Irish Cups, 1 Setanta Cup, 3 Co Antrim Shields & 1 League Cup. Having retired, Declan was appointed as Head of Crusaders Football Academy in June 2022 implementing a youth review setting up the club's Full Time Post 16 academy and has been an integral part of the club's staffing structure since his retirement.
At the minute, we are fully focused behind Stephen and the team to finish the season on a high. There will be no further comment at this time.
