Coleraine have announced the signing of keeper Gareth Deane on a short-term loan from Linfield.
 
The 26-year-old arrives at The Showgrounds in time for their Europa League clash with San Marino outfit La Fiorita, plus any subsequent games throughout August, with a view to making the move permanent.
 
Deane had been with Linfield for most of his career, making in excess of 50 appearances, but also spent a period on loan with Carrick Rangers a few years ago.
 
Bannsiders boss Oran Kearney was pleased to have Deane on board.
 
"Gareth coming here helps us through our European schedule and then we will have a discussion after that," he told the official club website.
 
"Gareth has been at Linfield a long time and has been unlucky with some freakish injuries, but he has played in a lot of big games and has plenty of quality."
