Town manager Roy Keane is pleased with the double signing of Daryl Murphy and David Healy from his former club Sunderland yesterday. Keane: "Up front is an area of the park that I certainly feel we need to improve.

"I have made many enquiries for players over the past month or two and spoke to managers and I was pleased to get over the finishing line with Sunderland yesterday.

"It was a bit of a rush, like it often is with the deadline but we got there with 15 minutes to spare so not too bad.

"I have worked with both David and Daryl before and I'm delighted to have them at the Club. Both lads were keen to come, which was obviously a big factor.

"Murph gives us options. He can play on the left but I think we will get the best out of him up front.

"David has a fantastic goals record at international level. It didn't happen at Sunderland for him but that's football and he didn't get a run of games up there, with the competition for places they have.

"We will gauge their fitness with Saturday in mind but they are both keen to be involved and know the demands I will put on them."

Keane Pleased With Double Swoop

If they start scoring the goals we have sadly lacked this year then he will be plesased - especially if he then gets them to stay for next season!

4 ex Sunderland lads it's hardly a Sunderland B side is it, we've got two good strikers, one of which is a proven goal scorerm, if leady, Walters, Norris can deliver a good ball, it will go in the net, which priskin couldn't do.

the expectation from two "on the fringe" players is high, just like it was for keane at start of season, will just have to see
