AFTER 18 months out with injury, Darragh McBrien has signed for Irish Premiership big guns, Linfield.
McBrien was announced as David Healy’s latest signing last week and the Belnaleck man started with the Windsor Park outfit on Monday morning.
The 21-year-old spent two years at Dungannon Swifts after departing his boyhood club, Ballinamallard United and during his time at Stangmore Park he had highs and lows.
