Meanwhile, Ireland underage international Loughrey (17) earned the move to Sligo after impressing in training and in a pre-season friendly defeat last weekend to Athlone Town.

“It is great that she has joined us ahead of the new season.

“With all young players, they need some time to progress and develop and we will help her do that and are all excited to have her with us.”
