BREAKING SPORT: Derry City legend Paddy McCourt signs for Finn Harps

Former Derry City and Celtic winger Paddy McCourt has signed for Derry's League of Ireland rivals Finn Harps.

He is expected to make his debut for Harps against Cork on Friday night.

McCourt had been a free agent since leaving Irish League side Glenavon in December.

He played for former Derry manager Stephen Kenny's Dundalk side in a friendly before turning out for Harps last week.

McCourt won two SPL titles, two Scottish Cups and a Scottish League Cup as he became a cult hero at Glasgow giants Celtic after leaving Derry in 2008.

Known as the 'Derry Pele' McCourt was part of the famous Derry City side built by Stephen Kenny which enjoyed major cup and European success.

McCourt had been linked with a return to Derry City last year before signing for Glenavon.
