Finn Harps have signed teenage midfielder Anto Dodd from St Patrick’s Athletic.

The 18-year-old has moved to Finn Park on a season-long loan.

A Republic of Ireland underage international, Dodd made his senior debut for St Patrick’s Athletic at the end of the 2023 season, but did not play in 2024.

Now, Dodd will hope to impress at Harps.

“I’m delighted Anto has decided to join us for the season from St Pats and I am really looking forward to getting to work with him now in preseason,” Harps boss Darren Murphy said. 

“He will be a great asset to the football club in the 2025 campaign and the squad we are building. 

“There were other clubs interested in Anto, so for him to decide to come up the road shows the commitment he has to Finn Harps and representing this community.
