Former Ireland midfielder Liam Miller says he’s “delighted to be returning home” after Cork City announced his signing this morning.
The Leesiders say the 33-year-old ex-Manchester United and Celtic star has agreed a contract and he “is expected to join his new team mates for pre-season training later in the month”.
Miller was capped 21 times and has also lined out with Sunderland and Leeds. He has spent the last three-and-a-half year playing in the Australian A-League.
“I am delighted to be returning home,” Miller told City’s website. “I will be proud to wear the Cork City jersey and do what I can for the team in front of all my family and friends."
Asked about his targets for the season, the Ballincollig man stated bluntly: “To win the league.”
City boss John Caulfield: “We are delighted to sign Liam. Something developed over the last few weeks and it is a real marquee signing for us to get a player of Liam’s quality.
“He has been playing at the highest level in Australia, winning a league medal there last May.
“Having a Cork lad like Liam coming home is a major signing and a big boost for us at the start of pre-season."
