The 21-year-old from Dubliner arrives at Markets Field after impressing across several clubs in Ireland and the UK, most recently making 33 appearances last season for Longford Town in the SSE Airtricity League First Division.

"Eric fits the profile of the type of player we want at this club — committed, competitive and ready to work for success. We look forward to integrating him into the squad and seeing him contribute on the pitch."

Ian McMahon – Managing Director, Treaty United, added.

"On behalf of Treaty United, I am delighted to formally welcome Eric Yoro to the club. His signing reinforces our strategic approach to recruiting talented young players with both league experience and the potential to grow with us."
