I think this tweet sums it up:

Are City a bit short on CBs?
Mulcahy is older, but he's still got a quality football brain and is in surprisingly good shape for a 38 yr old. I loved watching him outwit young lads over the last few yrs with his experience and his game intelligence.
Not a bad back-up to have if Bennett or Browne get injured throughout the rest of the season.
That's it. Cork were struggling for defenders with Dunleavy and Kavanagh out. Beattie even had to play full back recently.
Mulcahy knows the game and can still absolutely do a job in a good Cork side

Fair play to him at 38 for being involved in a PD side, that's some going.
I think one of Dundalk's greatest ever players, Tommy McConville was 41 in his last season in LOI, I'm sure it was with Mons, around 87/88. Alfie Hale, who incidentally played with Tommy for Ireland I think, was also in his 40's playing LOI.
I'm also sure it was Hale who has the record of the biggest gap ever in seasons between first and last euro appearance for a Loi club, 1966 and 1986, possibly both with Waterford.
I'm open to correction on any of the above.

Hardworking and with a good strike. Great attitude. Surprised to see him at premier level but he's a good guy so hope he does well. Except against us. I hope that is the worst performance in the history of football.

We've signed from Christian Castells from Romanian side Ceahlăul.
He's a Spanish centre half, a position we badly need cover for.
Bit of a journeyman, but probably experienced.
