Lincoln City have signed Dylan Duffy from League of Ireland side UC Dublin, and Ethan Erhahon from Scottish side St Mirren for an undisclosed fee.

Both forward Duffy, 20, and midfielder Erhahon, 21, join Mark Kennedy's Imps on undisclosed-length contracts.

Duffy scored three goals in 34 games for UCD during the 2022 season.

Glasgow-born Erhahon leaves the Buddies having played 122 first-team games since making his debut aged 16 as an academy graduate.

St Mirren boss Stephen Robinson said that Erhahon's short-running contract was behind the decision to accept the offer and described the player as "a pleasure to work with".

The pair take Lincoln's January signings up to four, after the arrivals of Sheffield United wing-back Harry Boyes and Crystal Palace striker Luke Plange.

Kennedy's side currently lie 16th in League One, six points clear of the relegation zone.

Director of football Jez George said of Duffy's arrival: "Dylan is a talented young player, with exciting attacking attributes and potential, who will excite our fans once he has transitioned into full-time training, as he makes the huge step up into League One."

Duffy is reported to have turned down offers from Championship and League One clubs in order to move to Sincil Bank.

Meanwhile, 18-year-old forward Freddie Draper and defender Elicha Ahui, 19, have both joined Irish Premier Division side Drogheda United on loan for their upcoming 2023 campaign.

Ahui has made just one senior appearance for Lincoln, while Draper has featured 12 times for the club since making his debut last season.
