Cork City duo to stay at Turners Cross - 22/01/2009 21:00:56
Cork City have announced that Alan O'Connor and Timmy Kiely have both signed new one-year contracts with the club. O'Connor, who joined the club last season, was a regular member of the squad in the latter part of the season, playing on the right wing and up front. Kiely, who signed after spells at Glasgow Celtic and Kilkenny City, was a regular at youth and reserve levels for the club last season, before injuries gave him a chance with the first team where he made headlines with his Setanta Sports Cup semi-final winner away to Derry City. Cork City manager Paul Doolin said: "Both Alan and Timmy made the breakthrough into the first team last season. They've been back in pre-season training with us all week and they have both been working well. They are young lads, but they have ability and they are both very keen, so I am looking forward to working with them. It is a good sign for the club that there are young, talented players making the breakthrough, and with the experienced players we have here, they can learn a lot."
