Boss Roy Keane says he is delighted to have signed strike pair Daryl Murphy and David Healy. The duo joined on loan for the rest of the season from Sunderland yesterday.
Keane told the club site: "Up front is an area of the park that I certainly feel we need to improve. I have made many enquiries for players over the past month or two and spoke to managers and I was pleased to get over the finishing line with Sunderland yesterday.
"It was a bit of a rush, like it often is with the deadline, but we got there with 15 minutes to spare, so not too bad.
"I have worked with both David and Daryl before and I'm delighted to have them at the club. Both lads were keen to come, which was obviously a big factor.
"Murph gives us options. He can play on the left but I think we will get the best out of him up front.
"David has a fantastic goals record at international level. It didn't happen at Sunderland for him but that's football and he didn't get a run of games up there, with the competition for places they have.
"We will gauge their fitness with Saturday in mind but they are both keen to be involved and know the demands I will put on them."
