Finn Harps have completed the signing of Robert Jones, who goes straight into the starting XI for tonights game against Shelbourne at Tolka Park.
Jones is a Scottish forward who played the 2021/22 season at Scottish League One side Clyde.
The giant forward will lead the line tonight with Filip Mihaljević in support.
Ollie Horgan told club media: “Robert gives us something a bit different going forward that we’ve maybe lacked at times. He’ll take time to adjust to a new league but we’re hopeful he can make a big contribution between now and the end of the season.”
Meanwhile, Ethan Boyle returns from suspension, while Ryan Rainey returns from injury.
Dylan Duncan returns to the starting XI, as Carrillo and Hery drop to the bench with Tourish and McWoods not in the squad.
Finn Harps have also announced the signing of Liam McGing who is on the bench. The defender last played with Sydney FC in the A-League.
McGing began his career with Sydney FC before spending two years with Wellington Phoenix. The Australian is a centre-half by trade and will look to bolster Harps’ backline for the second half of the campaign.
Speaking after the signing, Ollie Horgan told club media: “Liam has experience at a good level and gives us some much needed depth at the back after the injury suffered by David Webster a couple of months ago. There’s always an adjustment period when you move to a new league but he’s settled well and is eager to get out there and play.”
Finn Harps: Mulreany; Boyle, Slevin, N’Zeyi, Donelon; Rainey, Connolly, McNamee, Duncan, Mihaljević, Jones.
