Hartlepool complete Behan signing

Denis Behan
Behan has been with Cork City since 2002

League One side Hartlepool United have signed Cork City striker Denis Behan for an undisclosed fee.

The 25-year-old frontman, who scored 35 times in 90 starts for the League of Ireland club, finalised the terms of his move on Monday morning.

Behan becomes director of sport Chris Turner's seventh signing this summer.

Pools have also had a bid accepted for Behan's Cork team-mate Colin Healy, the former Celtic, Sunderland and Republic of Ireland midfielder.

Behan is expected to go straight into the Pools squad for Tuesday's friendly with Sheffield Wednesday at Victoria Park.

Midfielder Healy, 29, spent two seasons at Sunderland after starting out at Celtic, and represented the Republic or Ireland on 12 occasions, scoring once.

Behan was previously at Brentford and has Republic of Ireland under-21 and under-23 honours.
