Paddy McCourt
Former Derry City favourite Paddy McCourt has signed for SkyBet Championship club Brighton and Hove Albion.
The 30-year-old Northern Ireland international has signed a one year deal after impressing Seagulls boss, former Liverpool defender Sammy Hyypia, during a trial period.
“We have seen enough of Paddy in the last week or so to know that he is a player who has quality going forward,” said Hyypia.
“He is the type of player who can pick a pass and create a chance.”
McCourt was released by Barnsley in May, who he had joined after spending five years with Glasgow Celtic, after making 23 appearances for the Yorkshire club.
He was an unused substitute in Brighton’s 2-0 away league win of Leeds United last night.
It was Albion’s first league win of the season, having lost their two opening games.
