Another new signing

[Éanna]

Well, seems as if City are making up for the lack of signings in the last few years. According to todays Star, we've signed Conor O'Grady (ex Ireland U-21) from Sligo Rovers. I don't remember seeing the guy play, but I do recall hearing good things about him. Pretty sure he's a striker as well- that makes 4 new strikers sigend this season! No fee mentioned in the paper.

I might be mixing him up with someone else, but the last I heard of him he had given up soccer to concentrate on GAA with his club in Sligo.

I also heard he was very good so lets hope the Star are right. Was there a 'Reliability Rating' on the piece!

[Éanna]

Yeah I heard that about him going to the GAA as well. Anyways, all it says is: "Meanwhile, Irish U-21 international Conor O'Grady has signed for Cork City from Sligo Rovers"

He's a midfielder

last year i went on hols and meet a few lads from dublin,they are very good friends wit jimmy mulligan(this is when he was a harps player),but after he signed for city a few weeks later he came into the shop in where i worked and i got chatting to him and he told me city were trying to sign o'grady back then as a midfielder but according to mulligan he's not good enough at this level and more importantly not good enough for city,HIS words not mine,u heard it here 1st
