The 26-year-old left-back is in his first season with Larne having joined the club from fellow Sports Direct Premiership side Cliftonville in the summer transfer window. During his time in Belfast, he earned a reputation of being one of the best in the league in his position and for being a set-piece specialist.
The defender has also previously played for Torquay United and has represented Northern Ireland up to U19 level. Having made his debut for the Inver Reds in the UEFA Europa League against FC Ballkani, Ives scored his first Larne goal in a 4-0 win over Newry in a game which saw him net twice.
