Once I knew the club were interested in me, things moved pretty quickly and I am very pleased to be here. It\u2019s a huge club, you can see the crowds that have been coming in over the last few months of the season and I am looking forward to the challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe fans have been through a lot over the last few years and stuck with the club through thick and thin, as have a lot of the players. It is a good, young group and you can see that they are making progress.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cColin sold the club to me pretty quickly; it is a huge club, there are a lot of good players here and, hopefully, we can push it on next season. It is a great place to play, a great atmosphere and hopefully we can get the place rocking next year. I have come here to win and hopefully we will do that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commenting on the signing, City manager Colin Healy said: \u201cAlly is a very, very good player who will add strength to our defence. Looking at this year, we did have a lot of younger lads in the squad, so he will bring experience and add to what we have.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe has experience of a promotion challenge this season just gone and that is obviously the aim for us for next season, so he will bring that experience to the group. There will be a number of clubs targeting promotion next season, so it will be difficult, but bringing in players of the quality of Ally will certainly strengthen us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-soundcloud wp-block-embed-soundcloud\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/soundcloud.com\/corkcityfc\/ally-gilchrist-signs-for-city\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cork City FC are delighted to announce the signing of Ally Gilchrist.
