DERRY City FC has signed Gareth McGlynn ahead of the start of the 2016 SSE Airtricity Premier League season.
The talented midfielder, who has signed a one year deal, returns to the club for a third time.
McGlynn, who made his Candy Stripes debut in 2001 under Kevin Mahon’s management, moved onto Bohemians and then returned to the Brandywell in the 2011 before emigrating to Australia later that year.
McGlynn has won the FAI Cup twice and the League Cup five times during his first two spells with Derry.
It will be a major boost to new manager Kenny Shiels as he tries to around the fortunes of the Candy Stripes this season.
His first match in the leagues comes on Friday, March 4, with an away fixture to Finn Harps.
