Swede success: Kevin Čustović settling in and making an impact with Cork City

The defender is enjoying the intensity of the League of Ireland since his move from the Danish league.

Cian Hennessy from Togher, Cork who is a dedicated Cork City FC supporter and a client at the Crann Centre in Ovens, Ballincollig, joined Cork City players to launch Crann’s Walk n’ Roll. Cian and City players Kevin Custovic, Tunde Owolabi, Heidi Mackin, and Ellie O’Brien togged out for Crann’s Walk n’Roll. The charity is encouraging people to walk, run, roll, push or pedal 5km between Thursday, June 8 and Sunday, June 11 to raise vital funds.

By his own admission, Kevin Čustović didn’t know a whole lot about the league at the time his agent first spoke to him about a potential move to Ireland.

But due to one of his main interests away from the football pitch, he was familiar with the club he now represents, as well as the opponents they face on Friday night.
