Cork City have confirmed the signing of Gavan Holohan from Drogheda United.
The 22-year-old midfielder joins the Turner's Cross outfit after an excellent season with United.
The Kilkenny native said: "To be honest, it didn’t take much persuasion for me to come to a club like Cork City, especially after the season they have had.
"Once I spoke to John and he told me his plans, for me personally and for the team, I wanted to get it done and get it signed as quickly as possible.
"I want to help the team and maybe we can go one better than this season. It would be nice to get a good cup run as well, and maybe win a cup competition.
"Personally, I would like to get as many games as possible under my belt and improve on the season I have had. I hope to chip in with a few goals and help the team push on for the title next year."
Caulfield, who also extended the contract of Ross Gaynor this week, said Holohan can make a big impact in Cork.
He stated: "I’m delighted to sign Gavan. He’s been with Drogheda for the last year or so, and did very well there. He’s an attacking midfielder, he’s scored quite a few goals, he’s a very skilful player and he gets forward and creates things.
"It is a real opportunity for him, coming down to a huge club and coming into a fantastic group of players. When he puts his head down and works hard, I think he will be a tremendous signing for us.
"I think supporters will be pleasantly surprised to see what a talented player he is. I’m hoping we can bring the best out of him, because he has huge potential."
