Cork City FC are delighted to announce the signing of Becky Cassin for our S\u00f3 Hotels Women\u2019s National League squad.<\/p>\n
The 23-year-old brings a wealth of experience to the Cork City side having played six seasons in the National League with Wexford Youths. During her time with Wexford, Cassin helped the Slaneysiders to nine major domestic honours including four S\u00f3 Hotels Women\u2019s National League titles and was part of last year\u2019s FAI Cup winning squad.Cassin has also played and scored in four of Wexford’s UEFA Champions League campaigns will link up with her new teammates for the first time next week when pre-season training kicks off.<\/p>\n
Speaking to CCFC.ie about her move to Cork City, Cassin expressed her delight at joining Cork City: \u201cI\u2019m delighted to have signed. This is a massive club with a really professional attitude so I\u2019m looking forward to getting out of my comfort zone and challenging myself under new management and with new teammates. I want to help the team win trophies, that should be every player\u2019s main goal. I want to keep developing and learning from my new coaches and teammates and just do everything I can to enjoy my football while I do it. I\u2019m really looking forward to getting started. It\u2019s going to be new and different from what my last six pre-seasons have been like so I\u2019m excited to get started and get to know the girls.<\/p>\n
Cassin recently graduated from IT Carlow with a first-class honours degree and as part of her course she undertook her work experience with Cork City FC two years ago and this left a positive impression on her: \u201cI enjoyed every second I spent in Wexford and everyone at the club knows exactly how much they and the club mean to me, so I\u2019ll always be thankful for the time I got to spend there. This definitely wasn\u2019t an easy decision to make and I was always appreciate everything that Wexford Youths have done for me. I\u2019d be lying if I said my time working at Cork City didn\u2019t help me make this move. I spent four or five days a week with the men\u2019s team for eight months and learned what the club is like from the inside out so I think that definitely helped in my decision. Everyone from the academies right through to the men\u2019s and women\u2019s team are committed and want to be successful every year so yeah that definitely attracted me back to the club.\u201d<\/p>\n
City women\u2019s manager R\u00f3n\u00e1n Collins feels that Cassin will be a very positive addition to the squad ahead of the new season which kicks off on March 15:\u201cFrom talking to Becky she could really see the project we are developing at City and we’re delighted she decided to be part of it,\u201d he said. \u201cShe has always struck us as someone in the league that will fit exactly into what we are building because of her attributes as a player and as a person and it’s great that is now a reality. She has achieved so much in the WNL already and her experience will be of great benefit to the squad. She can get on the ball and play, but also works really hard and wins it back, having that hunger matched with quality is a real asset.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
