Greg Sloggett is all but a Dundalk FC player following confirmation of his departure from Derry City.

The midfielder has been strongly linked with a move to Oriel Park over the last number of months following a stellar season for the Candystripes, who he helped qualify for Europe.

“Greg has been fantastic for Derry City, both on the field and off it, and we would like to thank him for his efforts this season and wish him well in the future.”
