CORK CITY HAVE brought in English goalkeeper Ollie Byrne on loan as they look to add further depth between the sticks.
Byrne joins from National League side Altrincham FC, pending international clearance, and will look to challenge Jimmy Corcoran for the number one spot.
The 25-year-old was previously on the books at Manchester United’s academy — where he lined out alongside Marcus Rashford, Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Axel Tuanzebe for the U18s — and also had underage spells at both Cardiff City and Blackburn Rovers.
He spent two-and-a-half seasons with Connah’s Quay Nomads in Wales’s Cymru Premier, where he won two league titles, before joining Altrincham in the summer of 2022.

“We are very pleased to get Ollie on board for the rest of the season,” City sporting director Liam Buckley said.
“He will add competition to our squad and I feel he is a very good signing for us. He brings a good bit of experience to the squad and I am looking forward to working with him.”
Adam Byrne is a try scoring machine.
@Gary: Definitely. Superb player.
Furlong is a beast.
Bonus point in the bag …nice
What an embarrassing capitulation by Northampton. Brilliant by Leinster though. Good times
Leinster have had some sloppy moments but also some brilliant ones which have yielded some trys thankfully. Let’s hope we can finish off Northampton in the second half.
Leinster cruising! whos their biggest challenge this season to win the cup!? apart from their Irish counterparts ;)
@Paul Quigley: Sarries I would say.
Leinster are a serious team..and have great strength in depth..apart from Micheal Bent..young Porter shud be getting game time
The Leinster scrum destroyed theirs with bent in the front row. May not be international standard but he is very valuable to the Leinster squad. Gets too much stick
Porter is a prospect but I’d imagine bent would eat him now. Porter has strength but a lot of technique to learn
Too bloody easy. What a team.
Gruesome Saints.
Impressive win
Luke McGrath is so poor tonight…
