Confirmed: Cork City recruit Swedish midfielder Albin Winbo

NEW RECRUIT: Swedish midfielder Albin Winbo.
Cork City have recruited Varberg BOIS midfielder Albin Winbo, the club has confirmed.
The 25-year-old is a midfielder who spent last season at Norwegian Sandefjord, for whom he played 13 times and scored once.
On joining City, Winbo spoke of his desire for a new challenge.
“I am really pleased to be joining Cork City. I have been looking for a new challenge in my career, and I am really looking forward to playing in Ireland. I have heard a lot about the club and, when I spoke to the manager, I liked what he had to say. I know this is an exciting time for the club, and I know the club is ambitious to succeed, so I am looking forward to being a part of this.”

City boss Colin Healy welcomed the new signing: “We are very pleased to get Albin on board. He comes in having played regularly in the top division in Sweden, as well as the Norwegian top flight last season. He will add quality and experience to the side.
"He is a skilful player, but also well able to deal with the physical side of the game, so we think he will be a good fit. We are looking forward to seeing him in action.”
The newly-promoted Rebels are also likely to recruit left-winger Quentin Seedorf ahead of the season kicking off at home to Bohemians on Friday, February 17.
Healy has so far enlisted the services of striker Ethon Varian, a loan capture from Bohemians, and ex-St Patrick’s Athletic Tunde Owolabi. They will compete with last year’s partnership of Ruairi Keating and Cian Murphy for the front spots.
Mark O’Mahony won’t be around after Brighton and Hove Albion swooped for the teen striker. The clubs have agreed an upfront six-figure fee with increments payable dependent on his progress and any sell-on.
