The Dubliner enjoyed a successful spell there before making the switch to the Cobblers five months later and was loaned backed to his former club after a lengthy injury. He has one goal in five League Two appearances this season and joins Tommy Dunne’s side until June.
Speaking to CorkCityFC.net, Dunne said of the signing: “Tadhg will be coming in next week. Obviously we were looking to add another striker to the squad as we were a bit thin up top.
“He is a player who is experienced in the League of Ireland and has also played cross channel as well. He is a good finisher and he gives us another option up front, so I am pleased to have signed him.”
