Derry City will turn their attention to headhunting the league’s top scorer Georgie Kelly after enticing Michael Duffy to the Ryan McBride Brandywell for next season’s title charge.

Duffy was expected to follow the path taken by Dundalk team-mate Patrick McEleney and fellow local back to Derry and a four-year pre-contract has been announced by the Candystripes today.
