Speculation is growing that one of Simon Davey's first signing could be striker Tadhg Purcell, picture from Wikipedia, who was with Davey at Darlington last season.
Purcell is a 25 year old Irish born striker who spent much of his early career with firstly Kilkenny City and then from 2006 with Shamrock Rovers. He can also play on the right wing.
He signed for Darlington in January 2010 and went on to score 9 goals in 22 appearances.
Purcell said he wanted to leave Darlington just after the end of last season but was not put on the club's release list. However he turned down a new deal.
Last April Purcell was in the Darlington team that lost to visitors Hereford. Marc Pugh scored the only goal of the game.
