Alex McLeish has tonight sealed the signing of midfielder Keith Fahey. The creative attacking Irishman has signed a pre-contract agreement and will join Blues on January 2nd from Irish Premier League side St Patrick's Athletic on a three and a half year deal.McLeish has had his eye on the 25 year old for some time now and has finally got his man. He is well known for his long range efforts, freekicks and corners.
The former Irish youth international started his career as a youngster at Arsenal, before moving to the Midlands to join Aston Villa for £250,000 in 1999.
Fahey made only one single appearance for Villa which came in the Intertoto Cup against Lille but after returning to the Irish league with St Patrick's he has now grown in confidence as he has shown everyone what he can do.
Hopefully the signing of Fahey will help strengthen the midfield and aid Blues in returning back to the big time.
