Hunt and O'Connor to remain at Cobh for 2020

Stuart Ashton’s Cobh Ramblers have confirmed that both Paul Hunt and Stephen O’Connor will remain at St Colman’s Park ahead of the 2020 campaign.

Hunt re-signs for the Rams ahead of a fifth season with the club, after joining the Co. Cork outfit in 2016 from Longford Town.

Defender O’Connor also makes his return to the club after making 23 appearances for the club’s senior side since 2018.

The news of the defensive duo’s re-signings will be a boost to manager Ashton, who has also retained the services of Charlie Lyons.

“I’m delighted to have signed back,” shot-stopper Hunt told his club’s media team.

“I’m really looking forward to next season and trying to push team on to where it should be, fighting at the top end of the table.”

And the 19-year-old O’Connor also told his club’s media team; “I’m really looking forward to getting out playing again in the season ahead.

“I’ve spent the past couple of seasons progressing with the U19s and I’m excited to become a full member of the first team.

“I’m confident that there is a good year ahead for us. Hopefully we can build on last year and push the top teams in the league.”
