LIAM COYLE, the striker who won every major individual accolade in League of Ireland football two seasons ago, is back at the Brandywell for a third time.

The 28 year old signed again for his home town club, Derry City, last night, after a weekend of intense negotiations with the Irish League's Glentorsn.

And accompanying the player to Foyleside is former Glentoran keeper, Declan Devine, a 22 year old Derryman who had also become unsettled in Belfast.

While Derry spokesmen refused to say how much the pair cost it is believed to be around £35,000.

The pair have been added to Derry's squad for tomorrow night's home league cup fixture against Sligo Rovers.
