Kerry FC have announced the signing of Oran Crowe from Cork City for the remainder of the 2024 First Division campaign.

The 20-year-old, who came through the City academy, made 15 appearances for the Rebel Army while he also represented the Republic of Ireland at both Under 16 and Under 17 level.

Crowe will be familiar with his new home ground at Mounthawk Park having played there for the young Boys in Green in the Victory Shield in November 2018.

He also played for Ireland in the UEFA European Under 17 Championship qualifiers against Israel, Andorra and Montenegro in 2019.

Speaking to kerryfc.com following his signing, Crowe, who could make his debut tonight when the Kingdom host Bray Wanderers, admits he can't wait to get going with his new team.

“I am delighted to have signed for Kerry and I can’t wait to get going," he said.

"I’m very grateful to Conor and James for the opportunity to come in and play for them. There is plenty to play for between now and the end of the season so I am aiming to contribute as much as possible to the team between now and then.”

First Team Head Coach Conor McCarthy added: “We are delighted to have Oran here at Kerry FC.

"He's a sort of box-to-box midfielder who played his underage football with Cork and also has a lot of international experience. A really good fella and hungry to go and play.

"He will add great depth into our midfield as well, another body means more competition within the squad.”
