Gearoid Morrissey set for sensational return to Cork City

Gearoid Morrissey is in line for a sensational return to Cork City.

A fan’s favourite, the 24-year-old midfielder emerged as a key player at Turner’s Cross - first in Tommy Dunne’s First Division-winning team and then under John Caulfield - before leaving to join Cambridge United in December of 2014.

His debut for the League Two club was memorable, Morrissey coming on as a second-half substitute at Old Trafford as Cambridge were beaten 3-0 by Manchester United in the FA Cup in February of this year. However, game time has proved hard to come by for the former Ringmahon Rangers man this season and it’s understood that he is now on the brink of returning to Cork, as manager Caulfield continues to build his squad for the 2016 season.
