Derry City make late, late move for Davy McDaid

Derry City are attempting to tie up a deal for Cliftonville striker Davy McDaid before the League of Ireland transfer window closes tonight at midnight.

The Brandywell club are believed to have tabled a bid, believed to be in the region of £10,000, for the striker, who has made a name for himself at Solitude since signing in 2014.

McDaid has already enjoyed two spells at Derry, winning the First Division title in 2010, the League Cup in 2011 and the FAI Cup in 2012.

The 25-year-old has been in demand of late, with Cliftonville turning down a bid from Linfield last month.

City boss Kenny Shiels is eager to boost his attacking options, but time is now against the Candy Stripes with just hours left to tie up the deal.
