Drogheda United sign former West Brom defender Aaron Harper-Bailey

Drogheda United have announced the addition of 22-year-old defender Aaron Harper-Bailey to their squad.

Harper-Bailey makes the move to Drogheda after a two-year stint with West Bromwich Albion.

During his time with West Brom, Harper-Bailey transitioned from Rushall Olympic in 2022 and quickly established himself as a regular in the Premier League 2 team.

In January, Harper-Bailey was loaned to National League side Kidderminster Harriers for a brief period in which he featured in two games for the club.

Manager Kevin Doherty has been active in strengthening the squad, with Harper-Bailey being the sixth new signing this window.

Other recent additions include Douglas James-Taylor, Elicha Ahui, Shane Farrell, Luke Dennison, and James Bolger.
