Barry Molloy and Emmett Friars sign up for Derry City

Emmett Friars played in central defence for Newry City

Barry Molloy and Emmett Friars are the latest players to sign up for League of Ireland First Division club Derry City.

Molloy has re-signed for the Brandywell club on a one-year contract after failing to secure a deal with English League One side Bristol Rovers.

The midfielder is believed to have rejected more lucrative offers from other clubs to sign for Derry again.

Friars also arrives on a one-year deal, having joined from Newry City, bringing the number of recent signings to 15.

Molloy had been on trial with Bristol Rovers for a few weeks.

All of Derry's recent signings have been locally-based players.
