Irish League champions Larne have secured the loan of Derry City defender Sam Todd, who will be part of Tiernan Lynch’s ambitious squad until January 2025. 

The Carndonagh man is the second player to make the switch from Brandywell to Inver Park within a week, following Jordan McEneff’s transfer confirmed just days ago. 

“The club can confirm that central defender Sam Todd has joined NIFL Premier League side Larne FC on loan until January,” read a Derry City club statement last night. 

“The 26-year-old has made 14 appearances for the Candystripes this season and scored the winning goal at Turner's Cross this month as City beat Cork to progress to the FAI Cup quarter-finals. 

“Sam will return to the Brandywell for pre-season training ahead of next season and we wish him every success during his time at Larne.” 

Todd, who originally developed through Derry’s youth ranks, returned to the club in July 2023 after a six-year period during which he played for Finn Harps under Ollie Horgan and UCD.  

He will rejoin Derry City for pre-season training ahead of the next campaign, with the club extending their best wishes for his time at Larne.
