Bohemians have missed out on keeping hold of striker Andre Wright after he joined Scottish Championship side Ayr United on a deal until the end of the season.

The 24-year-old joins the Honest Men after 18 months at Dalymount Park.

He scored 16 goals in 35 appearances for Bohs and was named in the 2020 PFAI Team of the Season.

Wright was on trial with Kilmarnock earlier this month but did not secure a contract. 

Ayr are mid-table in the Scottish Championship. 

Ayr boss Mark Kerr said: "We are delighted to get this deal done and we have been working hard to add some presence up front.

"Andre has a good pedigree and was highly thought of when coming through at West Brom.

"He comes to us hungry and at the right age and will hopefully make a big impact to the way we play. Now I feel that we have some really good options in the forward area of the pitch."

Wright started his career with local side West Bromwich Albion and gained first team experience during his time with the Baggies on loan at Kidderminster Harriers, Torquay United and Coventry City.

He will go straight into the squad for the trip to Dundee on Tuesday if international clearance is received in time. 

Bohs have recruited Thomas Oluwa from Shamrock Rovers and Georgie Kelly from Dundalk for the new campaign.
