Gearóid ’s Biography
Gearoid first appeared for Cork City in 2010 when they played under the flag of Cork City Foras Co-op following the collapse of the club under chairman Tommy Coughlan. He made his league debut for the club against Athlone Town at Turner's Cross on 29th May and made 17 league appearances that year. In 2011 Gearoid helped the Rebels to the First Division title, making 29 league appearances and scoring five league goals.
Gearoid was a key member of City's midfield as the club returned to the Premier Division making 57 league appearances over 2012 and 2013 with the Rebels finishing sixth on both occasions. In 2014 City finished runners up in the Premier Division with Gearoid scoring twice in 26 league appearances. This was to be Gearoid's last in City colours and just before Christmas in 2014 he signed for Cambridge United.
Gearóid went on to make eight appearances for Cambridge in League Two during the 2014/15 season as the U's finished nineteenth.
