Derry City have signed Spanish defender Cristian Castells on a short term deal. 

The former Valencia youth player has secured a deal that will keep him at the Brandywell until the end of the season. 

Manager Kenny Shiels likened the six foot defender to current player Ryan McBride saying he's arrived at the right time. 

The Candystripes beat Finn Harps 5-0 in the SSE Airtricity League of Ireland on Friday night, and they'll host Cork City at the Brandywell tonight.

Kick-off is at 7:45.
