McCarey, who was between the posts this season for Dundalk in the Europa League group stages, took to social media to celebrate finalising the move.

He posted on Twitter: “Delighted to be onboard. Looking forward to the challenge ahead. Just a note on my time with Dundalk its fair to say it didn’t go as I thought but would like to wish everyone involved all the best going forward”.
