Centre-back who moved from UCD in the summer was named on the bench alongside John Egan for their season opener against Coventry today. Big jump from LoI First Division to the Championship - surprised to see him straight on the bench to be honest. Might be one to keep an eye on in the coming months.
Hugh Parker moved at the same time (though McCarthy was loaned back immediately to finish his Leaving Cert)
Started alongside John Egan today in a 3-0 defeat to Blackburn. Hadn't expected him to be remotely near the first team this early (High Parker is still with the underage team).
On the way to being yet another centre-back for our growing pile of options?
Cathal McCarthy, who turns 19 at the end of the month, made his senior debut today, for Hull City's home game v Blackburn Rovers. He partnered veteran John Egan in the defence, but it was not a good day for them, losing 0-3.
