The second signing of the day was announced as Jamie McDonagh, the 21 year old winger joing from Scottish side Greenock Morton. Speaking after his arrival McDonagh said, "I can't wait to see what the atmosphere is like at the stadium and be playing with all of the lads here. Hopefully I get some game time and put in a good performance. I want to help us get out of this relegation battle. I'm going to try my best for the club. I know the gaffer will be pushing us on in every game and giving us that extra motivation to keep us up.""

The third signing of the day is one that will be familiar to many League of Ireland supporters. Vinny Faherty arrives at the club having spent the first part of the season with Galway United. Faherty had three separate spells with Galway, two more with St Patrick’s Athletic, as well as single seasons with Dundalk and Limerick. He has also plied his trade in professional football in Australia.
