Coventry City have announced that youngster Gary Deegan will join during the January transfer window from Irish Premier Division champions Bohemians.

The 22-year-old central midfielder has impressed manager Chris Coleman enough to earn a three-and-a-half year deal at the Ricoh Arena.

He has also played for Galway United, Shelbourne and Longford Town in his homeland.

After scoring five times for The Gypsies in 34 appearances last term, his burgeoning reputation has grown and he was named in the 2009 PFAI Team of the Season.

Speaking to the club's official website, Coleman said: "We are delighted to have secured Gary's signature and we believe we have acquired not only a very good technical footballer, but also a very tenacious and hard-working one as well who will complement the players we already have here.

"There were a number of other clubs interested in Gary's services so it was important we moved quickly and I'm very much looking forward to working with him when he becomes eligible for us in the New Year."
