Derry City have made a double signing to boost their squad, bringing in midfielder Ellis Chapman from Shelbourne and back-up goalkeeper Tom Norcott from Reading.<\/p>\n
Chapman, 25, arrives on a permanent deal. Before his stint at Shels, he played for Sligo Rovers.<\/p>\n
Norcott comes in on loan from Reading until the end of the SSE Airtricity Men’s Premier Division campaign.<\/p>\n
The 21-year old finished last season on loan at National League South side Farnborough. He has been on the Royals’ books since 2023.<\/p>\n
Norcott will go straight into the squad for the Candystripes’ game at home to Waterford tonight as a deputy for Brian Maher who returns from a broken wrist bone that sidelined him for five months<\/p>\n
Derry had to move to fill the void left by Eddie Beach, who has returned to his parent club Kilmarnock. The 22-year-old impressed in his 22 appearances after stepping in for the injured Maher<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Derry City have made a double signing to boost their squad, bringing in midfielder Ellis Chapman from Shelbourne…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":531673,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-531672","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/531672","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=531672"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/531672\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/531673"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=531672"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=531672"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=531672"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
