Boyce to Brandywell
Derry City FC can confirm that striker Liam Boyce has joined the club on a 2-year contract from SPL side Heart of Midlothian.
The 33-year old Belfast man began his senior career at Cliftonville and subsequently made a total of 124 appearances for the Edinburgh outfit after joining them in 2020.
Boyce has been capped by Northern Ireland on 28 occasions and will certainly add quality to Tiernan Lynch’s attacking options ahead of the new season.
The Candystripes’ boss said that Boyce’s arrival was a ‘serious coup’ for the club given his proven track record.
“It’s great to get another International footballer into the club and we’re delighted to have him at the Brandywell
“You only have to look at Liam’s record in England and Scotland over the last ten years, to see the quality that he brings. He’s a proven goalscorer and a great addition for us.
“We’re looking forward to our training camp next week and it’ll be an ideal opportunity for Liam to get to know the rest of the boys ahead of the new season.”
Any chance of an early run out fell by the wayside this afternoon as City’s planned friendly at Finn Harps this afternoon was abandoned due to frost at the Ballybofey venue.
