Parkhouse clinches Sligo Rovers move
The long-running Stephen Parkhouse saga has finally come to and end with Finn Harps confirming the striker has left the club for Sligo Rovers.
Harps manager Paul Hegarty said he had agreed terms with the 26-year-old last month, before a forced reduction in the Ballybofey club's budget made the deal impossible. Harps have an approximate debt of €290,000 and the club hope to raise €150,000 before 26 January, but Hegarty has little to work with between now and then.
Consequently, former Glentoran frontman Parkhouse, who had also been interesting Coleraine of late, put pen to a deal at the Showgrounds and will now be involved in both the Setanta Sports Cup and the newly-formed Europa League (formerly UEFA Cup) next season, as well as remaining in the Premier Division.
