City sign Casey from St Pat’s

CORK City yesterday signed Ryan Casey from St Patrick’s Athletic. He will make his debut in tomorrow’s National League game against Derry City at Turner’s Cross.

Cork yesterday also transferred Robert Hedderman to Derry City. Dublin-born Hedderman joined Cork from Aberdeen earlier this season, and played several matches in the league for them. Cork manager Pat Dolan signed Casey for St Pat’s after he had helped Ireland to win the European U18 Championship under Brian Kerr in 1996.

Casey played a number of games for St Pat’s at the beginning of the season but his career has not been helped by a series of unfortunate injuries.
