Finn Harps have brought former crowd favourite Kevin McHugh back to the club along with Anthony Gorman as they put the finishing touches to their squad.

McHugh had been plying his trade with Linfield, but slipped down the pecking order there and has now jumped at the chance of re-joining a club where he was once prolific goalscorer.

The former Derry city frontman has inked a one-year deal. It will be his second stint as a Harps player having left the club in 2005 and is sure to excite the fans once he lines out for James Gallagher's side.

Not only will McHugh provide some much-needed experience to a very young squad, but his knack of scoring important goals should help the Donegal-based club in their bid to improve on last year's final position of eight in the First Division.

Meanwhile, Gorman, who in the past has served the club as a player and manager, returns as assistant manager to help out Gallagher.
