Midfielder Conor Clifford joins on the dotted line for Derry City

DERRY City have signed central midfielder Conor Clifford as Declan Devine adds to his squad for the 2020 season.

The former Chelsea youth captain has spent the last season and a half with St. Patrick’s Athletic.

He helped them to 5th place this year and chipping in with a couple of memorable goals from distance.

Prior to his time with the Saints, Conor spent a season at Dundalk before a very brief stint with Limerick.

The 28-year-old was capped for Ireland at U17, U19 and U21 levels and also captained Chelsea to an FA Youth Cup in 2010.

Last month City signed forward Walter Figueira as Declan Devine adds to his squad for the 2020 season.

The striker may be familiar to the Brandywell faithful as he bagged himself two goals against the Candystripes in August for Waterford in the EA SPORTS Cup semi-final that City went on to win 4-2.

Declan Devine described Walter as a “quality striker”.
