Belfast City FC was set up last month and has some big plans
An Antrim man is aiming high after starting a new football club whose aims include developing young players and promoting positive mental health.
"My wife, who is German, got offered jobs in Scotland and Northern Ireland. I said 'let's go to Northern Ireland' because we have never been here, and we have fallen in love with the place," Cameron said."I have always thought of starting up a team. I had been coaching with Ballyclare Under 21s up until Christmas, but I had a massive mental health breakdown, I don't mind admitting that.
"And it wouldn't matter where you're from or what ability you have. We don't want to sit still, we want to do something good for Belfast." "I have experienced the highs and lows, and I have worked in that professional set-up. Clubs here have something similar, like your Linfields and Larnes."The club will be based in Belfast and we're still looking for a home. But for the first while we will be playing our games at Mallusk."We are waiting to hear back from the Ballymena and Provincial Football League to see if we are getting in there for next season.
