Finn Harps have revealed the signing of Kosovar Sadiki on loan from Hibernian FC for the 2020 League of Ireland season.

breakthrough with the Potters. He has had spells in Croatia with NK Lokomotiva and also trials QPR and Bury.

Sadiki was born in Germany but moved to Ontario Canada with his family when he was 1. 

The centre-half is also eligible to play for Albania and Kosovo but he has made 6 underage appearances for Canada.

Manager Ollie Horgan will be hoping the 6ft4 stopper will go some way to replace the gap left by the departures of Daniel O’Reilly and Keith Cowan. 

The pair both operated at the back for the Ballybofey side last year but have left for Shelbourne and Glentoran respectfully. 

Horgan said about the deal; “If you look at the move I think it makes sense all around. Its great for us to have Kosovar come in and give us plenty of options at the back. 

"If you don’t concede the worst you’ll get is a draw and so any quality will go a long way. For himself and Hibs he gets to test himself now in a new environment and further his development. 

"We’re delighted they went for the move and that Kosovar chose to come on board for 2020.”
