Cork City have announced that Alan Bennett is rejoining the club.

The 33-year-old who left for Reading in 2007 had been at AFC Wimbledon since 2013.

Bennett has twice played for Ireland at senior international level.

The defender said: "It’s the Cork City I remember. A club that is successful and challenging for trophies, with a team full of Cork lads. Now I’m coming back into it the way it was back then: successful, driving towards the top end of the league, challenging for cups, playing in Europe."
