Following the conclusion of the 2026 season, Cork City FC would like to provide the following update on our Men’s First Team squad ahead of the 2027 campaign.
In recent weeks, Archie Meekison was announced as the club’s first new arrival of the off-season, while Greg Bolger confirmed his retirement from professional football. Greg received a fitting send-off from the City faithful in his final appearance against Finn Harps.

Harry Nevin, who came through the club’s academy before earning a move to Preston North End in 2020, returned to City in 2024. Having made over 50 appearances for the Men’s First Team across the last three seasons, Harry now departs with the club’s very best wishes for the future.
