Cork City have confirmed that Graham Cummins has re-joined the club after spending the first half of the SSE Airtricity League season at Waterford FC. 

Cummins had moved to a new role at centre-half during his time at the RSC and he's likely to also be deployed in defence by Cork boss Neale Fenn.

“It’s my local club and I am glad to be back," Cummins said of his return to Turner's Cross. "I joined Waterford at the start of the year, and I got into the side playing at centre back, and I felt I did well, but when I heard that Neale was interested in bringing me back, there was only one place I wanted to be.”

“I think a player knows his best position, and centre back is a position I feel I am better in. It is such a young side here, and I am more vocal playing at the back, so I feel I can add a lot of experience to the side. We need to try and get out of the blocks as quickly as we can, and I want to play my part in doing that.”

Cork have also bolstered their ranks by extending Deshane Dalling's loan spell from QPR.

“I am really pleased to be back," he told Cork City's official website. "I joined the club just before the start of the season, and I felt like I had barely even got started before everything shut down.

"I felt like my last game, against Finn Harps, was my best and I was looking forward to the next one, and trying to improve even more. I am really looking forward to getting back into training with the rest of the group once I am able to do so, and then the opportunity to get a run of games under my belt.”
