Bray Wanderers have signed defender Derek Foran from St Patrick's Athletic, while former Seagull Philip Keogh has returned for his second stint at the club.

Foran has impressed immensely at the Carlisle Grounds since arriving from the league leaders at the start of the season.

'Pip' Keogh, who has over 250 caps for Bray and three FAI Cup winners' medals to his name, returns after taking a break to travel.  He can operate in defence or on the left side of midfield.

Of the signings, Bray manager Eddie Gormley said: "I am delighted to bring the two lads in. Derek has been with us since the start of the season on loan but it's great that he is now our player and not just on loan.

"Pip coming back to the club is also great news for us, he is a few weeks away from match fitness but he'll work hard to get up to full steam and we will see the benefits of this at the business end of the season.

"He can play in a number of positions which will give us great options and his experience will be vital to us in what is a pretty young squad."
