Andre Wright joins Ayr United after Bohemians exit

Andre Wright has landed a short-term deal with Ayr United and could make his debut against Dundee tomorrow.

The English striker, 24, was a hit with Bohemians during his season-and-a-half stay at Dalymount Park.

He scored eight league goals as the Gypsies finished second in the Premier Divisjon last year.

But he left at the end of the 2020 campaign and wanted to join SPL side Kilmarnock but was not offered a deal after a trial.

Scottish Championship side Ayr United have pounced for the free agent with a contract until the end of the current season.

Ayr’s player-manager Mark Kerr said: “We’re delighted to get this deal done and we have been working hard to add some presence up front.

“Andre has a good pedigree and was highly thought of when coming through at West Brom.

“He comes to us hungry and at the right age and will hopefully make a big impact on the way we play.

“Now I feel that we have some really good options in the forward area of the pitch.”
