‘Cockney Rebel’ Murphy to return to Cork City

THE Cockney Rebel is back at the Cross. Cork City have announced the return of Danny Murphy to the club where he won a league title in 2005.

The 28-year-old full-back rejoins on a two-year deal from Shamrock Rovers and his availability will be a major boost for manager Tommy Dunne as he plots a promotion course next season.

City boss Dunne said: “I am delighted that Danny has returned to the club. The left side of defence is an area where we had to chop and change throughout last season, so I am pleased that we have been able to bring in a player of Danny’s quality.
