BJ Banda to leave Finn Harps

Finn Harps have confirmed that striker BJ Banda has left the club ahead of the 2024 campaign.

Banda, 25, rejoined Harps in July and scored three goals in 15 league appearances under both Dave Rogers and then interim boss Darren Murphy.

And Murphy, who is now Harps permanent manager, revealed the news explaining that the forward has left due to his inability to guarantee him minutes next season.

“I just couldn’t guarantee him first team football and regular playing time,” he said. 

“We have Success (Edogun) who has just arrived (from Treaty United), Patrick Ferry who made a real impact when he came in during the Summer and young Max Johnston who can also play in that area. 

“That is not to mention Sean O’Donnell and Aaron McLaughlin who also give us options up front as well as out wide. 

“For BJ, at his age he’s looking for regular first team football and unfortunately that won’t be at Finn Park. 

“I’ve really enjoyed my time working with him and want to wish him every success in the future.”
