Returning Graham Cummins impressed by Cork City progress

The eyes have it for Graham Cummins. Signed by Cork City from Scottish Premiership side St Johnstone before Christmas, Cummins can already see the changes on his return to his hometown club.

“Before, you could walk around the street a couple of years ago and no-one would know you — now you get glancing eyes,” he said at his official unveiling by City yesterday.

“The club is obviously a lot bigger and that’s not just the playing side: that’s the marketing side. Even abroad, there’s a lot more interest. In terms of everything I don’t think there’s much the same here — just the ground.”
