Evan Ferguson, John Egan and Gavin Bazunu were the major Irish deadline day movers, each with their own motivations for igniting their seasons.

Ferguson reunited with the man who handed him his Brighton and Hove Albion manager debut, Graham Potter, but the deal was in the works even before he took charge of West Ham United.
