Cork City are already putting their Jake O’Brien windfall to use by prising Ruairí Keating back to Leeside on a long-term contract.

The imminent transfer of O’Brien from Olympique Lyon to Everton for €24m deal entitles City to a share of the 5% portion assigned to former clubs under Fifa’s solidarity framework.
