FORMER CORK CITY DEFENDER Colm Horgan has joined Derry City for the 2020 season, the Premier Division side has announced.
The 25-year-old has been training with the club and appeared as a second-half substitute in a friendly against Drogheda on Friday night.
Horgan, who debuted for Salthill Devon in the 2010 season, went on to line out for Galway United and played a key role in their promotion to the top flight in the 2015 season.
He remained at Galway until the end of the 2017 season, before departing for Cork City on a two-year contract.
He lined out for the Leeside outfit 20 times in the SSE Airtricity Premier Division last season. His older brother Daryl — an Ireland international who is now at Hibernian — previously lined out for Salthill Devon, Sligo Rovers, Cork City, Dundalk and Preston North End, while younger sibling Kevin is a goalkeeper with Galway United.
