Dunne extends Turner's Cross contract

Cork City are delighted to confirm that manager Tommy Dunne has agreed a one year extension of his current contract with the club.

Commenting on the news, Chairman John O’Sullivan said: “At the start of the season we asked Tommy to come on board and help to build a team in nine days. He undertook that challenge with great enthusiasm and put together a squad which is still pushing for promotion and competing in the FAI Cup.”

“We have made significant strides in the last few months as we continue to build a stable club off the pitch whose foundations are based on volunteers, the community and a strong underage structure. Tommy shares all our ambitions and we have every belief that he is the man to return Cork City FC to Premier Division football.”

Speaking to CorkCityFC.net, Dunne said: “I am delighted to have agreed to extend my contract to the end of next season. The fact that I know that I will be here next season brings stability to the situation and allows me to start planning further ahead with regard to bringing players in, pre-season training and so on.”

“I think we have got through a lot of good work in the past few months, and that is down to everyone involved in the club; the players, the backroom staff and the admin staff. I am pleased with how things have gone so far, but naturally we want to push on now. There are still a lot of games left between now and the end of the season, and we will be doing everything in our power to climb up the table and challenge the top teams in the division. I believe that this club has an exciting future ahead of it, and I am very pleased that I will be involved in it.”
