Alan Bennett commits future to Cork City

“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.
