Limerick set to sign Chiedozie Ogbene

Chiedozie Ogbene appears set to complete a move to Limerick from Cork City.

The highly rated 19-year-old has been training with the Shannonsiders since the weekend and his departure, if confirmed, would be regarded as a disappointment to City, whose successful U19 team was the springboard for the winger to make a number of first team appearances last season, including coming off the bench in Cork’s 1-0 FAI Cup Final victory over Dundalk.

There’s speculation that City’s re-signing of Stephen Dooley may have left Ogbene feeling that his chances of a regular place at Turner’s Cross this coming season would continue to be limited.
