We are delighted to announce the signing of midfielder Jordan McEneff from Derry City for an undisclosed fee.
The 23-year-old began his career at Arsenal, spending a total of six years at the Emirates, which included a loan deal to Shelbourne as part of his development.
He returned to his native Derry City towards the end of 2022, scoring in the FAI Cup final win over Shelbourne, in front of more than 30,000 fans at the Aviva.
Jordan then enjoyed a fine season the following year for the Candystripes, becoming the club’s top goalscorer in the 2023 campaign.
Injury at the start of the 2024 season curtailed his involved in Ruaidhri Higgins’ side this season, but would still go on to make 10 appearances before his move to Inver Park.
Boss Tiernan Lynch is excited to see the new addition in action, saying: “Jordan will be a great addition for us in midfield.
“His ability at Derry City has been clear to see and we feel he can bring that ability to what we’re trying to do here.
“We have talked before about not adding players just for the sake of it, they need to fit our culture and enhance what we already have in our changing room and we feel Jordan fits the bill on both counts.”
The player himself – who will be added to our European squad – is eager to get started at what is an exciting time for the club.
Jordan said: “I’m delighted to be here – I spoke to the manager and chairman over the weekend and the amibitions of the club is really exciting, both in the league and Europe.
“Coming here to play football is a good opportunity for me and I’m excited to get started.
“I’m a player who tries to get from box-to-box and like to assist and scores myself where possible and hopefully I can do that here.”
You can hear from Jordan in his exclusive first interview with the club later on this evening.
