For Ryan Delaney, Cork City’s loan ranger, the credits will roll as he rides out of town at the end of Sunday’s FAI Cup final. And his fervent hope now is that it will be a case of hi-ho, more silver and away.

Defender Ryan Delaney will make his final appearance at Turner’s Cross for Cork City on Friday night after manager John Caulfield confirmed the defender is on his way back to English Championship side Burton Albion.

If things had worked out a little differently, Cork City defender Ryan Delaney could have been preparing for a trip to Old Trafford to face Manchester United next month.

Ryan Delaney will be staying at Cork City until the end of the season.
