Cork City add Dunleavy to their squad

Cork City have added Republic of Ireland Under-21 international John Dunleavy to their line-up for the 2012 season.

The Donegal native, who spent a number of years at Wolverhampton Wanderers, plays mainly at right back, but has been deployed as a midfielder.

City boss Tommy Dunne said he was very pleased to have signed the 20-year-old, saying: "John is a right back but can play right across the back four and in the centre of midfield, so he is versatile which gives us options.

"We will not have a huge squad, so that versatility will be a bonus. He is a good pro who has been highly recommended by his peers and by top managers, so we are delighted to have him on board.

"John was at Wolves as a professional for a number of years, and when I spoke with Mick McCarthy, he recommended him very highly."
