Ruaidhrí Higgins will have his new assistant at Derry City in place this week, with Paddy McLaughlin’s resignation from Cliftonville paving the way to fill the vacancy.

Derry, third in the League of Ireland, have been seeking a new staff member since assistant manager Alan Reynolds returned to an identical role with hometown club Waterford, chiefly for family reasons.
