Finn Harps have acquired the services of Irish underage international Luke O’Brien on loan for the 2024 season.

O’Brien has represented Ireland at under-15, under-17 and under-18 level.

The young defender has made just three senior appearances for his parent club but will be an important addition to a Finn Harps squad aiming to make the First Division playoffs.

“We’re really pleased to have Luke as part of the squad” said Harps manager Darren Murphy

“He is another young player that fits our profile, and is very highly thought of at Pats.

“He gives us some much needed depth and talent in defence and along the left side.

“He’s come through some of the top academy structures in the country and is an Irish underage, he has a great pedigree and will be a brilliant addition to the team.

O’Brien will look to make his debut in Finn Harps’ home opener against Cork City.
