Matty Kennedy

Loan : Cardiff City – Portsmouth

Pompey have signed Matty Kennedy from Cardiff on a season-long loan deal, subject to international clearance.

The Scottish winger becomes the fourth deadline day arrival at Fratton Park, following the captures of Oliver Hawkins, Stuart O’Keefe and Damien McCrory.

Blues boss Kenny Jackett said: “Matty’s a very skilful attacking midfielder with the great ability to go past players.

“He also has a good record of assists and will be able to provide for our strikers with quality crosses.

“He played against us in the Carabao Cup and produced an impressive performance, so I’m sure he’ll be a very effective player for us.”

Kennedy began his career with Kilmarnock and had a spell at Everton before signing for Cardiff in February 2015.

He appeared in three games for the Welsh outfit this season – including August’s cup clash – and has represented Scotland up to under-21 level.

Damien McCrory

Loan : Burton Albion – Portsmouth

Pompey have signed Damien McCrory on loan from Burton until January.

The 27-year-old Irishman is primarily a left-back, but can also be utilised in a more advanced position.

Blues boss Kenny Jackett said: “He’s an experienced player who provides competition for Brandon Haunstrup in that role.

“It’s a specialist position and we’ve been looking to bring someone in since Tareiq Holmes-Dennis’ unfortunate injury on the opening day.

“He’s won promotion from this division before and has also played in the Championship, so we’re delighted to bring him in on loan.”

McCrory started his career at Plymouth and enjoyed a successful stint with Dagenham before joining Burton in 2012.

He has made almost 200 appearances for the Brewers and represented Republic of Ireland at youth level.

Stuart O’Keefe

Loan : Cardiff City – Portsmouth

Pompey have signed midfielder Stuart O’Keefe from Cardiff on a season-long loan, subject to international clearance.

The 26-year-old has previously helped Crystal Palace win promotion from the Championship and featured for them in the Premier League.

Blues boss Kenny Jackett said: “We’re very pleased to bring Stuart in for the rest of the season.

“He brings experience and aggression into our midfield and will complement the young ball-playing guys in that area of the pitch.”

O’Keefe progressed through the ranks at Southend before joining the Eagles and then arriving at Cardiff in 2015.

He has scored twice in 45 appearances for the Welsh club and appeared against Pompey in the Carabao Cup earlier this season.

Oliver Hawkins

Transfer : Dagenham and Redbridge – Portsmouth

Pompey have signed Oliver Hawkins from Dagenham & Redbridge.

The towering 25-year-old striker has arrived for an undisclosed fee and penned a three-year deal at Fratton Park.

Blues boss Kenny Jackett said: “We’re really pleased to get Oliver over the line and I’m looking forward to working with him.

“He’s someone I’ve watched for a long time and is capable of stepping out of non-league and doing well for us, complementing the players we’ve already got.

“He will obviously add some physicality to our squad. He holds the ball up and is a big threat in the box – in fact he’s useful in both boxes.”

Hawkins started his career with North Greenford United and enjoyed prolific spells with Hillingdon Borough, Northwood and Hemel Hempstead before signing for Dagenham in January 2016.

He netted 18 goals for the Daggers in the National League last season, including hat-tricks against Wrexham and Solihull.

Transfer : Chesterfield – Portsmouth

Pompey have signed Dion Donohue from Chesterfield for an undisclosed fee.

The 23-year-old Welshman – who can play in midfield or at the back – has penned a two-year deal, with the club holding an option for a further year.

He will wear the number 17 shirt, but has not signed in time to feature in Saturday’s League One clash with Walsall at Fratton Park.

Donohue was a member of Everton’s academy and later appeared for Porthmadog, Holyhead, Caernarfon and Sutton Coldfield.

He signed for Chesterfield following a successful spell on trial in 2015 and scored once in 65 appearances.
