Finn Harps have announced the signing of American defender Ryan Flood ahead of the First Division campaign which kicks off in February.

The 24 year old joins the Donegal side on a two year deal from USL Championship side Phoenix Rising subject to work permit and international clearance.

“I’m very excited to have the opportunity to start a new chapter in my career at Finn Harps FC, a club of history and tradition and it’s an honour for me to join on a two year contract,” Flood said, speaking to the club’s website.

“Having played for Dave already at Arizona I know how passionate he is and when he told me about his plans for the club I couldn’t wait to get terms agreed.

“His professionalism and standards of coaching are second to none, plus his leadership and man management skills really push players to be their absolute best and I’m very excited to arrive in Donegal and work with him again.

“I have always wanted to come and play in Europe and to be able to showcase my ability in-front of the dedicated and loyal Harps supporters is a real honour for me and my family.

“The fans and my teammates can be rest assured that I will give my absolute all in every training session and match to help us become successful. These are really exciting times to be part of the Finn Harps FC family and I look forward to seeing you all soon.”
