City hopeful O'Flynn will extend his contract

CORK CITY are hopeful centre-forward John O'Flynn will follow the example of his centre-back colleague, Dan Murray and will extend his contract with the club beyond the next two seasons.

Murray, signed on loan from Peterborough United on the recommendation of O'Flynn, is seeking to persuade Peterborough to allow him stay with Cork next season. City are hoping O'Flynn will follow suit as they seek to build on this season's progress.

Reports that upwards of seven cross-channel clubs have requested regular reports on O'Flynn's scoring exploits can largely be attributed to the activity of scouts working around the Eircom League clubs.
