Derry City have completed the signings of Northern Ireland internationals Liam Boyce and Gavin Whyte.
Striker Boyce has penned a two-year deal with the Candystripes after spending the last five years at Hearts.
Derry boss Tiernan Lynch is hoping the 33-year-old new arrival - capped 28 times by his country - will sharpen up his attack as they look to launch a title challenge in 2025.
"It’s great to get another international footballer into the club and we’re delighted to have him at the Brandywell," said Lynch, who described the capture of Boyce as "a serious coup".
"You only have to look at Liam’s record in England and Scotland over the last 10 years to see the quality that he brings. He’s a proven goalscorer and a great addition for us.
"We’re looking forward to our training camp next week and it’ll be an ideal opportunity for Liam to get to know the rest of the boys ahead of the new season."
Wideman Whyte, 28, left Portsmouth last August and had plenty of options on the table, but he's opted to head for the Ryan McBride Brandywell on a three-year deal.
"I don't think I need to say too much about the type of player Gavin is, given that nearly every club in the country was chasing his signature," Lynch said.
"The plans that we put in front of him about what we want to do and where we want to go probably excited him the most.
"He has played at the highest level and is the type of attacking player that gets people excited, which is what playing at the Brandywell is all about."
Both players might have gotten first runouts with their new team on Saturday but Derry's planned friendly against Finn Harps in Ballybofey was called off due to heavy frost.
