Bohemians midfielder Gary Deegan, 22, has been signed by Coventry City and will join the English Championship side on a three-and-a-half-year deal starting from 4th January 2010.
The central-midfield playmaker, who was the subject of interest from several other clubs, including some in the Premier League, was also voted onto the 2009 PFAI Team of the Season.
He will be available for Coventry City's home game against Barnsley on Saturday, 9th January 2010.
Coventry City manager Chris Coleman said: "We are delighted to have secured Gary's signature and we believe we have acquired not only a very good technical footballer but also a very tenacious and hard-working one as well who will complement the players we already have here.
"There were a number of other clubs interested in Gary's services so it was important we moved quickly and I'm very much looking forward to working with him when he becomes eligible for us in the New Year."
Deegan was a key part of Bohemians' title-winning teams of 2008 and 2009 and was outstanding in Bohemians' 2009 UEFA Champions' League matches against Red Bull Salzburg. He scored five goals in 34 appearances for Bohemians, having joined the club in July 2008 from Galway United. He had previously played with Shelbourne and Longford Town.
