St Pat's have signed Dutch centre-back Noah Lewis who was a free agent since leaving Willem II last summer.
The 22-year-old, who played in pre-season friendlies against Galway United and Bohemians at the weekend, spent seven years in the Feyenoord academy.
A Dutch Under-17 international, he had a loan spell with second tier side FC Dordrecht before joining Willem II in a permanent deal in 2021.

Saints boss Tim Clancy said: “Noah has a lot of very good attributes - he's tall, quick, strong and very good on the ball.
“We feel we can help him develop and he’ll be a big player for us this season. He’s had a few weeks with us already so he understands how we want to do things.”
Lewis already knows the Saints’ Dutch midfielder Thijs Timmermans and said: “He has helped me settle in and told me about the club and the league.”
