Derry man, Davy McDaid, has completed his signing to Cliftonville.

The former Derry City striker has joined the Belfast club from Coleraine after the Irish League champions were in hot pursuit of the 23-year-old striker.

McDaid, who netted in Coleraine's opening day draw against Ballinamallard on Saturday, was subject of a rejected bid from Cliftonville but the Solitude giants came back with an improved offer and the attacker signed on the dotted line.

The signature comes in the wake of popular front man Liam Boyce's transfer to Ross County in Scotland and Cliftonville boss Tommy Breslin admitted that he had been keeping tabs on McDaid for some time.

"I believe he will prove an effective addition to our squad and I am sure our supporters cannot wait to see him in a Cliftonville shirt."

McDaid's new club posted this picture of their new signing.
