John Caulfield drafts in new duo for Cork City ahead of transfer deadline

Cork City boss John Caulfield has put the finishing touches to his squad to challenge for the League of Ireland title with confirmation of two new signings ahead of today’s transfer deadline.

Lithuanian defender Rimvydas Sadauskas comes in from Stumbras Kaunas, while Italian striker Christian Nanetti arrives from English non-league football, and join a squad which is already celebrating silverware, having beaten league champions Dundalk 3-0 in last weekend’s President’s Cup, the curtain-raiser to the new season.

The serious stuff starts now for City, with a trip to Ballybofey to face Finn Harps in their Premier Division opener on Friday (8pm), and there may be a few new faces on the bus.
