Ireland U21 international Zack Elbouzedi is set to join League One's Lincoln City, the club's Twitter account has confirmed this afternoon.

The winger had been plying his trade at Waterford United last season, impressing on his way to establishing himself as a key member of Stephen Kenny's U21 side.

It had been speculated that he would leave the League of Ireland side this winter, but his destination had been unknown until this point.

Lincoln City currently sit in 15ht place in the League One table having been promoted from the English fourth tier last season. They finished top of the pile in League Two in only their second season in the division after coming up from non-league.

They are currently managed by Michael Appleton, who previously managed Oxford United and acted as caretaker boss for Leicester City for a short time in 2017.

This move may raise some eyebrows, but one would suspect that Elbouzedi will find plenty of playing time with his new club. He will join fellow Irishmen Cian Bolger and Lee Frecklington, who captains the side.

The midfielder has had a previous spell in English football, spending two years at West Brom from 2015 to 2017. He then took in a spell with Inverness Caledonian Thistle before returning to Ireland.
