Wright, inset, got the best out of the big forward in his days as Limavady United boss.

"He scored 15 goals for us in one season and that wasn't bad going at all," says the former international keeper, now on the coaching staff at Norwich City.

McConnell's move for the hitman is his highest-profile loan signing yet and could well prove to be his most significant.

The striker played under Wright at both Limavady and Ballymena United before his move to Solitude in January of 2007.

Wright says: "He is a proven goalscorer and I believe he will give Larne a real edge.

The 80's star is working with the strikers at Inver Park.

McCourt assisted with the reserves last season but with no second string this term, he had been surplus to requirements.

He was the club's top scorer over a number of seasons and is keen to share some of his goalscoring knowledge with the current forwards.
