Alan Bennett commits future to Cork City

Alan Bennett never went missing for Cork City this season, so you can’t blame him if he goes off the radar in the coming weeks.

“I’m taking off now. Myself and my wife are going off to New Zealand for a few weeks to see my sister who lives out there, so that’s something I’m really looking forward to. I won’t have many off-seasons left, so I said I might take the opportunity when it comes around and get a bit of time off, switch Twitter off, switch off the phone and go missing for a while.”

Before taking himself off the grid, however, Bennett had some important business to attend to yesterday, picking up the SSE Airtricity/Soccer Writers’ Association of Ireland Player of the Month award for October, and celebrating it by signing a new two-year deal at double-winners City.
