Kavanagh believes he’s found perfect fit at last

He possesses one of the most colourful backgrounds in the League of Ireland, but all Cork City’s new signing Daryl Kavanagh is focused on now is securing some much sought after stability.

The striker was unveiled by City manager Tommy Dunne yesterday as the club’s first capture of the off-season, and after enduring some tough times in the past five years, is delighted to have tied down an all too rare two-year contract at Turner’s Cross.

Having jumped from club to club since 2007, Kavanagh’s career had previously taken a nosedive with near disastrous consequences. But after rejuvenating himself at St Patrick’s Athletic in 2011, before a frustrating campaign at Shamrock Rovers this year, the 26-year-old believes now is the time for him to show his best.
