Listen: Finn Harps boss Ollie Horgan on transfer market trials and tribulations

Finn Harps manager Ollie Horgan says he has been to ‘England, Scotland and further afield’ as his trawl for players continues.

Horgan last night, at a public meeting in Ballybofey, confirmed that Mikey Place, Niall Logue and Peter Burke have pledged their commitment to Harps for the 2019 season.

That trio takes Harps’ number up to 14, with Sligo Rovers legend Raffaele Cretaro among the new recruits.

Horgan and his assistant manager, Paul Hegarty, have been extensively and actively on the hunt for new blood.

“We have gone at it morning, noon and night to get this wherever it’s going,” Horgan told Donegal Daily/Donegal Sport Hub.

“At least we’re not sitting on our backsides letting days go by. We’re going day-by-day.”

Horgan has obvious financial struggles when it comes to attempting to match what other top-flight clubs are able to offer.

Horgan said: “It would be nice to be able to match what other clubs offer, even for a few individual ones

“You’re motivating people to get people to take work off on a Friday and reimburse them with very little.”
