Mulcahy completes Cork switch

John Caulfield’s squad for 2015 is really beginning to take shape with the news this morning that Dave Mulcahy becomes the 16^th player to sign up ahead of next season.

The 36 year old is the second Kilkenny-man to sign for the Rebel Army recently, after the capture of Gavan Holohan from Drogheda United, and the versatile player told CorkCityFC.ie how he was looking forward to re-joining the Leeside club.

“I was delighted when the call came from John; it was just a matter of making sure I could commit to the club before saying yes to John. He was very enthusiastic and did everything he could to get me to sign; I am really looking forward to the coming season.

“I was very impressed by Cork City last year. I couldn’t believe that they held on for as long as they did, with a so-called inexperienced team, but that just shows how good a group they are; they really fought and came back into the title race.”

Mulcahy is equally adept in defence as midfield, and joins Cork City from Bohemians where he also served as captain after Owen Heary became manager.

Also speaking to CorkCityFC.ie, manager Caulfield spoke of his admiration for his new signing.

“He’s one of those players in the league that I have always admired; a guy with a tremendous attitude and great experience. He’s really hungry, he knows he has not got many seasons left and, when I met him, he was absolutely thrilled with the opportunity to come to Cork.

“He offers us huge choices, as he can play across the back four and across midfield. Every game he played against us last season for Bohemians he caused us problems from set pieces, and he ran the show for them in the two cup games.

“While we have a few experienced players in the team, you can’t beat experience and a fantastic attitude, and I think Dave will bring that to us. The more good, honest, dedicated professionals you have, giving the right example to the younger players, you can’t go wrong.”
