Former Cobh forward Chris Hull departs Ramblers to join Mayfield United

Mayfield United of the Munster Senior League have unveiled the capture of former Cobh Ramblers striker Chris Hull.

Hull was the hero for Ramblers during their EA Sports Cup run in 2018 scoring the only goal in the semi-final to see them past Dundalk at St Colman’s Park.

The forward went on to score in the final against Derry City but The Candystripes proved too much for the First Division side as they were defeated 3-1 at the Brandywell.

However, the forward suffered a serious long-term injury – an injury that kept the youngster out of action during the 2019 campaign.

He returns to football after a period of injury and goes right into the squad for Mayfield’s local derby against Leeds AFC on Friday (kick off 7.30pm).
