DERRY CITY boss Tiernan Lynch says there is more to Dipo Akinyemi than just goals.
The English striker has joined the Candystripes on a multi-year deal from York City.
Most of his career has been spent in non-league football where he has been a regular scorer.
And in the 2022-23 season, he was named the Scottish Championship’s Players’ Player of the Year after netting 20 league goals for Ayr United.
City boss Lynch said; “We’ve been very keen on Dipo for a while and I’m delighted he wanted to come here.
“His goalscoring record speaks for itself, but that’s only a part of what he gives you.
“He has excellent numbers when it comes to assists and has a very strong work ethic.
“When you’re looking at players to strengthen the group, you’re also very much looking at character as well.
“I have no doubt that Derry City fans will enjoy watching Dipo over the next number of seasons.”
