American goalkeeper Lucas Daunhauer has checked in at Finn Harps for the 2025 League of Ireland First Division season.

“The League of Ireland First Division provides me with the challenge I am looking for in my career,” he said.

“I am looking forward to building on what Finn Harps did last season. I am very excited to sign with Finn Harps for the 2025 season.

“The supporters have a great passion for their club and I will take pride in representing them to the best of my ability.”

Daunhauer arrives following the recent departure of Tim Hiemer, who left Harps after two seasons at the club.
