Linfield manager David Healy will “see what's available” in the remaining days of the January transfer window as he looks to bolster his squad – and revealed there could be Windsor Park departures this month.

The Blues have moved to sign former Dundalk defender Darragh Leahy, who has settled seamlessly into life at the reigning Premiership champions, and former Airdrie captain Adam Frizzell from Derry City.

Callumn Morrison departed for Dunfermline Athletic earlier this month, sealing a Scotland return after an underwhelming 12 months in the Irish League, and Healy has now confirmed another “one or two” could follow him out the exit door.

Despite their Premiership title defence looking unlikely at this stage with leaders Larne 16 points ahead of the fourth-placed Blues, Healy’s men still have plenty to play for, including Tuesday’s BetMcLean Cup semi-final showdown with Ballymena United.

This season’s competition has taken on extra significance as the champions will progress directly into the European play-off final.

Having lost three consecutive league matches in December, Linfield have since put together a five-game unbeaten run across all competitions, running out 1-0 victors at Crusaders on Saturday.

While Healy remains on the search for transfer opportunities, the Blues chief insists Linfield aren’t in a position to compete with their main rivals on the financial front.

"Absolutely, we will see what's available,” he said. “We have cleared one or two who will leave and we will look to, hopefully, recruit the right players, not only for the here and now, but potentially leading into a rebuild we will need in the summer.

"When you look at the levels some of the others are going at it, we're certainly not anywhere near, or wanting to, because we can't.

"I've stated before that we don't have a financial investor, a silent partner or the money to go out and outbid other clubs. We have to be sensible in what we do, cut our cloth accordingly, and we will continue to do that.”

Healy was boosted by the return of Kirk Millar as a substitute on Saturday after the influential winger missed four league matches through injury.

While not necessary to green light exits to seal more January incomings, Healy wouldn’t be surprised if certain squad members leave to pursue other opportunities, potentially freeing up space for fresh talent.

"I wouldn't say we need to let anyone go,” he added. “There's one or two who will potentially leave over the coming weeks.

"If there is a bit of money freed up, we will have a look up until the end (of the window) to see what's available.

"Kirk Millar is back, I thought our bench was good (against Crusaders) with Jamie (Mulgrew), Kirk, Sean Brown, Isaac Baird, Sam Taylor, David Walsh who is now an experienced player in our dressing room.

"What you don't want to be doing is bringing somebody in to sit on the bench or take up an opportunity of a younger player, somebody like Jon Graham. We've one or two maybe not far away (from returning)."
