Mulcahy Goes on Loan to Waterford, Purcell Returns to England

Cork City defender Stephen Mulcahy has joined Waterford United on loan for the remainder of the season. The 24 year old has suffered two long-term injuries in recent seasons, and has recently returned to training following a cruciate ligament injury suffered last summer.

Speaking to CorkCityFC.ie, City manager Tommy Dunne said: “Stephen has had bad luck with injuries, and having returned to training, he now needs game time. He has worked extremely hard to get himself fit, but he now needs to play as many games as he can. While Waterford can’t guarantee him games, he should have more opportunity to play there than he might do here. It is one area of the squad where we do have cover. It will be good for him and I hope that he gets to play and can get 14 or 15 games under his belt and come back into the reckoning with us for next season.”

Dunne also confirmed that striker Tadhg Purcell has left the club following the end of his loan spell, commenting: “Tadhg has gone back to England. We did speak to him and make him an offer but he feels he has unfinished business over there, so there is not much more we can do about it. The door is not closed, but we are now looking at other options. I would like to thank Tadhg for his efforts in his time with the club and wish him the best of luck for the future.”
