Former Shamrock Rovers and Hamilton Academical defender, David Elebert, is expected to undergo a medical at Derry City today with a view to signing for the Brandywell club.
David Elebert.
If the move does go ahead, it will be Roddy Collins eighth signing since taking over the managerial reins from Declan Devine – he has already captured the signatures of Aaron Barry, Cliff Byrne, Mark Stewart, Roddy Collins Junior, Enda Curran, Danny Ventre and Ciaran Gallagher.
A free agent, he looks set to join the new look City squad after impressing during a two week trial period.
Dubliner Elebert (27) began his career in 2004 as a trainee at Preston North End but failed to make any first team appearances for the club.
After a loan spell at Scarborough in 2005, he was signed by Hamilton in January 2006, for whom he scored eight goals in 135 appearances.
After a move to Ayr United at the end of the 2010/11 season fell through due to a hamstring injury, he joined Icelandic club Fylkir in April 2012 before signing for Shamrock Rovers in February last year.
He was called up to the Republic of Ireland’s under-21s in May 2008 and made his debut against Malaysia’s under-23s later that month, captaining the side against Nigeria in his next game.
