Derry City have announced that Shane Ferguson has joined the Brandywell club this morning as Tiernan Lynch’s squad continues to take shape ahead of the new season.
Ferguson has Premier League experience at Newcastle United and has also represented Northern Ireland on 57 occasions.
He arrives having spent the past few seasons at Rotherham United.
The Eglinton man has agreed a one-year deal with the option of a second and says he can’t wait to get started after the Christmas break.
“I’ve been training hard after a frustrating last season and I’m feeling very strong. I will really benefit now from a full pre-season and be ready to go when the new campaign starts.
Derry City is obviously a club I know a bit about and I’m well aware of how passionate that support base is.
I’m really looking forward to doing my bit to hopefully bring success to the Brandywell.”
Ferguson becomes Derry’s third signing of the week as Adam O’Reilly and Brian Maher have also put pen to paper recently.
