Finn Harps have announced the surprise signing of Haiti international midfielder Pascal Millien.
The 30-year-0ld joins Harps having been playing most recently for Florida State club Fort Lauderdale Strikers in the North American Soccer League.
Harps are hopeful of securing a work permit for the former Sligo Rovers player.
“He will give us more options which will be needed for a long, tough season,” said Finn Harps manager Ollie Horgan.
“He’s very experienced player and a big plus for us is that he knows the League of Ireland scene well having played two seasons with Sligo Rovers.
“Pascal is an attacking midfielder who can score goals. He is good at linking up with front men so hopefully he can strike up a good understanding with our forwards.”
Finn Harps Secretary John Campbell said the completion of the Millien signing had been a slow process, which had taken a number of weeks to process because of the nature of the international transfer involved.
“There was a hugely complicated piece of work involved in getting Pascal’s international clearance sorted. He still has to get a work permit here from the Department of Labour before he can play. Hopefully that can be sorted out quickly” Campbell said.
Millien won the League of Ireland Premier Division with Sligo Rovers in 2012 and claimed the FAI Cup with the Bit O’Red in 2013.
