Mick McDermott: 'We can give them the platform but it’s up to them to put in the work to perform'

“If current players tell their friends that this is a good environment, then that spreads. The same applies on the negative side. If it’s a poor environment, players tell their friends not to come near the club. I believe we’re creating something that’s attractive.”

Cobh Ramblers manager Mick McDermott reckons the current reputation of the First Division outfit makes them an enticing proposition to players like latest recruit, former Chelsea striker George Nunn.

The player who Chelsea forked out €350,000 for in 2018 was recruited as a free agent after severing his ties with Icelandic club HK Kópavogs. McDermott hopes international clearance is received in time to allow him feature in Friday’s meeting with Longford Town at St Colman’s Park.
