Fermanagh's Jon Armstrong will return for another full season in the European Rally Championship (ERC) with the M-Sport Ford outfit with Donegal's Shane Byrne as his new co-driver for the eight-round series that begins with Rally Sierra Morena in Spain in early April.

At the end of last year, his first full campaign at the top level of the ERC, Armstrong, who was co-driven by Killeagh's Eoin Treacy, took the runner-up spot in Rally Silesia, where he took seven stage wins.
