Cork City's Ryan Delaney’s loan repayment

For Ryan Delaney, Cork City’s loan ranger, the credits will roll as he rides out of town at the end of Sunday’s FAI Cup final. And his fervent hope now is that it will be a case of hi-ho, more silver and away.

Amid all the speculation about who might come and go at the club, Delaney’s return to Burton Albion is one certainty.

“Yeah, it’s officially my last game for Cork,” said the 21-year-old from Wexford. “I can’t thank everyone enough. The club, John [Caulfield] and all the coaching staff who helped me develop as a player and helped me have this great season.”
