Finn Harps have announced the signing of Dutch centre back Erol Erdal Alkan.

The 27-year-old was capped for Turkey’s under-21s three times and most recently played in the 2nd division in Turkey for Uşakspor. He was born in Netherlands and has a Turkish father so opted to represent Turkey.

He told FinnHarps.ie: “I’m really excited for the opportunity to play for Finn Harps. Everyone has been fantastic since I moved over and helped me to settle in. It’s a strong, physical league which suits my game. I have heard great things about the fans and their passion, I’m looking forward to the start of the season.”

Ollie Horgan told club media: “Erol has good experience playing around Europe and will give us a lift at the back. There are a lot of new faces in the squad and it’ll take time for them to gel but he’s settled in well to be fair to him.

“We’re still looking for a few more lads to bring in the door, it’s a long season and injuries and fixtures add up over the year so it’s good to have him signed now for the season ahead.”
