Coleraine have announced the permanent signing of Connor Murray on a multi-year deal.

The midfielder, who initially joined the club on loan last season, has now put pen-to-paper on a permanent deal at The Showgrounds.

The Scottish midfielder, who initially joined the club on loan last season and who has played for Queen of the South, and Partick Thistle, makes the switch from Hamilton Academical.

The 28-year-old made 35 appearances during his maiden campaign at The Showgrounds, netting three times in the process.

First-team boss Ruaidhri Higgins said: “Connor was unfortunately injured when I came in, but I did see some of his performances in the second half of the season and he's a talented footballer.

"There's goals in him, there's creativity and he's at a good age. He's 28-years-old and he'll give us a real added dimension at the top end of the pitch.

"Goals win games and the more players you have to create and score goals the better - and we have a few now - he's another talented member of the squad and he's a smashing player," added Higgins.

"The way he played at Windsor Park was the stand-out game towards the back end of last season and he was the driving force behind that. He got a couple of big goals and there's no doubt that he's a talented player."
