Conor McCormack being unveiled at the Brandywell yesterday by Derry City manager Peter Hutton
Greenore man Conor McCormack has signed a contract with Derry City until the end of the season.
The 25-year-old former Manchester Utd youth completed a move to the Candystripes yesterday after being released by St Patrick’s Athletic yesterday.
McCormack will be hoping to help Peter Hutton’s side avoid the drop as they currently sit in 10th place in the Premier Division, level on points with Sligo Rovers. While they are 10 points clear of bottom placed Limerick FC, they are also six points behind Drogheda Utd in the battle to avoid a promotion/relegation play-off at the end of the season.
Capable of playing in midfield or at right back, McCormack made a name for himself with Bellurgan Utd before securing a move to Manchester Utd in 2006. He spent three years there before another two and a half year spell in Italy with Serie B side Triestina in which he failed to break into the first-team.
McCormack returned home in 2011 to help Shamrock Rovers to the title and remained at the Tallaght outfit for three seasons before moving to Pat’s in 2014.
