Derry City are set to win the race to sign former Preston North End midfielder Adam O’Reilly.
The Cork-born youngster is believed to have jetted out to Spain to finalise his move, with the Candystripes beating a host of rival clubs to his signature.
O’Reilly spent last season on-loan at St Patrick’s Athletic - and while he impressed at Richmond Park, he was allowed by Preston to leave for free in this transfer window.
