John Caulfield wants Ryan Delaney to reach new heights with Cork City

Cork City manager John Caulfield has challenged towering defender Ryan Delaney to become the club’s set-piece goal king this season as he looks to add an aerial threat to his title challengers.

Delaney — a close-season loan signing from English Championship side Burton Albion — scored his first City goal with a header in the 4-0 SSE Airtricity League Premier Division win over Galway.

Caulfield is determined to ensure the Wexford man doesn’t rest on his laurels.
