Cork club College Corinthians are set to benefit to the tune of €807,000 from the sale of former player Adam Idah to Celtic.
The Ireland striker first joined his local club at six and 10 years later when he left for Norwich City part of the terms included a sell-on clause.
That has been activated after Brendan Rodgers converted last season’s successful loan spell into a permanent transfer, believed to be an initial £8.5m with another million available through add-ons.
Idah recalls his time at Corinthians with great fondness, enjoying success and representing the club on Cork’s interleague and Ireland teams.
The club caters for boys and girls to seniors and has steadily developed Corinthians Park.
A national lottery grant, along with a stellar local fundraising drive, is helping to pay for a full-sized Astro pitch.
This windfall, although likely to be paid in phases, will aid their endeavours.
