Heffernan joins AC Milan on loan

Cork City FC can confirm that Cathal Heffernan has joined AC Milan on loan until July, with the Italian side having the option to make the move permanent.

Heffernan signed his first professional contract with the club last year, having joined City from Ringmahon Rangers and made his first team debut last season.

Head of Academy, Liam Kearney, commented: “This is a great opportunity for Cathal, and we wish him well. Having played his schoolboy football at Ringmahon, he then joined us and has continued to progress. He’s a very good player and a great young lad, and we wish him the best for the future.
