Good stat that, welcome Corey we could do with a couple of versatile players, I’m sure he will provide competition with Gordon. A enthusiastic young lad that has cost us nothing.

So much for not having thought about whether he’ll need to replace Riley :lol:

Pleased we’ve moved swiftly on this. Hopefully he’s quite an exciting player going forwards - the dribbling stats would suggest so.

Looks good on the face of it.

Will he play wingback in place of Joe Riley?

I like signings like this. Had a good football upbringing, had experience in L2 and decent pedigree playing for Ireland youth sides. Sounds like he can play in a few positions too.

Welcome.

But I’ve got to ask, is it compulsory to be Irish to sign for us ?

Interesting that this is the 3rd signing (off the top my head) that we have signed after originally wanting them in Jan.

Apparently he's played RB, RWB, LWB and CM before. Decent coverage there.

Corey O'Keefe looked useful in the Macclesfield games I watched last season. Good dribbling stats and can apparently play right back and midfield.

I see he was born in Birmingham but played for Ireland's U16-U19s. He's 22 so he will be included in the salary cap and count as one of our 22 man squad.

Who else can we sign and get in on loan?

Let's have a look at the Ireland U21 and U19 squads :lol:

Helpful, although I'm sure GC will get an earful for playing him in his wrong position if he plays him anywhere other than right back :lol:
